If the goal is to become a true international airline it would make much more sense to go with something smaller than the max 7 to capture as much capacity as possible from the Rapid City’s of the country and feed them into the hubs like every other airline. No doubt Embraer would bend over backwards for SWA.
220 is a way better plane than the 190. Order book is ridiculous for the 220 and there’s a reason nobody’s bought many 190’s. Buying Breeze would get you at the front of the line though…they should’ve put an order in during Covid after the rolling delays started. I don’t care if the -7 shows up or not….I want mgt to quit slacking off and make a damn decision already. Jr people are getting their asses handed to them due to **** poor decisions from HQ.
