For 220 NYC is there an airport most of the flying occurs out of? JFK or LGA? Or is it all pretty spread out / random for the 3 airports to cover or where trips start and end

no way to predict future pairings, but here’s Sept:
LGA 329/429
JFK 78/429
EWR 22/429

Are Green Slip opportunities in NYC common for the 220? Any comparison to the 320/737

Depends…not too long ago the 220 was PHAT on FO…almost no greenies and senior RES FO were going months without flying.

I’ve seen the same on the NYC 737…6 months later guys were rolling thunder with 8-9GS’s in a month.

Only constant is change.

Dang, ok that’s good to know.. not relying on green slips but will sure is a nice benefit to have

Best part of the 220 is the fact it doesn’t touch Atlanta. You’ll learn why later on.

I'm curious why?

Can you tell us?

1) It's the wrong sized airplane for ATL (the 220 is meant for 2-5 hour routes, not 1-2 hour routes like the 717)
2) The engines take so long to start and have so many wind limitations they don't want it clogging up the ramp

I think he was more expressing disdain for operating out of ATL in regards to reroutes, delays, etc.

But yes, I do agree with your points above and think that it will be a long time before we see the 220 doing any meaningful amount of flying out of ATL. Its bread and butter is the longer routes, and quite frankly any long route out of ATL where the 220 would be a good plane probably warrants the seating capacity of a 737-800/900 or 320/321.

Because it's a miserable place. It's where trips go to be delayed by late inbound aircraft, late inbound crews, airplane swaps from T to F with 55 minutes scheduled, rude unhelpful gate agents, poor food choices with long lines and terrible service. Not to mention one small afternoon thunderstorm (an almost daily occurrence in the summer) just blows any semblance of a plan to smithereens there.

I feel like there are more than a few 2-5 hour flights from ATL
