Were all the other flights the same or did it kick a bigger plane off to right size?

I don’t know the exact CASM but if you believe the 3500lbs an hour figure it burns 31.25lbs an hour per seat. If you use 6000 average on the -900(optimistic), that gives you 33.3 pounds per hour per seat. 31.25/33.3=.938 so the 220 has about a 6% advantage there. That number changes dramatically if the 3500lbs is understated.
I still think the real reason that this jet is being funneled to ATL at these times is to create a path to tech ops so it can be maintained there without ferry flights.

That’s about the same fuel burn as a CRJ900 or E175. That would be amazing.

The Neo cuts that by 20% or 25/ pax taking on GTF engines.
