First Delta A220-300 test flight
At least some positive news amid all of the craziness:
https://simpleflying.com/first-us-a220-flight/
Wish Airbus and Delta could speed-up some of these deliveries with all of the MD88/90 grounded - only 6 A220-300s to be delivered this year?
Will be interesting to see how the 300s are deployed.

And what happened to the -200?
This aviation stuff is so confusing.

The A220-100s appear to be actively used during this slowdown due to their efficiency and I would expect the bigger 300s will be integrated as soon as they are available since they offer even better CASM. Time will tell.
