For any regional guys that have ever flown the 175, you'll feel right at home.

exactly! Flew the 175, started initially on the 88 here and then went off to the 220. The learning curve from the 175 to the 220 is so easy. Operates on mostly the same logic and modes. Very easy to fly!

Better CASM given more seats. The economic case for the 300 (and hopefully the rumored 500 series) will get better and better and Delta deploys it. I’ve even read that a 300 XLR version is being considered that could fly up to 4,000 miles. BDL to DUB or PHX to HNL anyone?

Had he flown the 757 or the 320? If he spent 20 years on the maddog prior to the 220, he would obviously be spot on.

There is nothing to do ever. The only flows we have right now are because of quirks in the Hyd systems where auto MIGHT not work correctly.
