I wish we'd buy them simply so we can stop hearing all the whining about how we don't have them every time we taxi past one. Maybe get a twofer and they'll all bid over to it and maybe give me a bump in seniority. I don't understand the odd love affair with that thing...I mean, it still has a yoke. Puke!

Maybe we can buy a cargo version so I can stop hearing “there’s no money in cargo” every time we pass a FedEx ramp

But sure, that would be fine with me if it makes Delta more stable and profitable and creates more high paying jobs for Delta pilots. If the A220 paid the same as the 787 it wouldn't matter. If you want to go to Hong Kong, you can non-rev there (on our JV partner
).
