AA is pulling their 50-seaters from NYC because it's giving up on NYC. Totally different.

And most of those SINGLE CLASS 50 seaters are being replaced by the 550/170/175 or even 319/737-7.

I predict more and more A220-100 and A220-300 will be in the works for more and more airlines. The jump from 76 seats to much bigger (like the 160 seat B737-800) seems like too big a jump.

I don’t see Airbus pushing to sell more new A319 while those lines are filled with A321 orders and B737-700 are not being sold with the -800 and Max being pushed (I take the long view that Maxs will be accepted again).

The A319 and B737-700 that are flying are aging out. A 100 seat and 120 seat option just seems to fit a need between 76 and 160.

I think you thinking in the right direction and will add that we should start seeing I orders of the E195 too

KLM’s E2 is beautiful

It's pretty, but Embraer probably tanked its midsize viability stateside with the E190's abysmal reliability.

No middle seats, a big win, why on earth did the CSeries go with a middle seat?

Because the DC-9 / MD-80 had a 2-3 seating configuration. Although a clean sheet design, they went with that size fuselage.

It also helps fuel efficiency for that seating, as well as baggage capacity. Think about a 1-1 seating configuration 50 seats long. Think about a 5-5 seating configuration 10 seats long (both for 100 seats). Both extremes are inefficient. There is a sweet spot in between.

Dispatch reliability:
E1 E170 / E175: 99.8%
E1 E190 / E195: 99.4%
E2 E190: 99.9%
Expected is 99.7%

Reliability and maintenance costs have substantially decreased with the E2’s.
