I like the Canabus. It is easy to fly and has some really cool toys(great screens, electronic checklist etc). The cockpit is also MUCH nicer than the 737. I hope to have a sidestick for the rest of my career!!
Now, it is not in any way perfect. It’s twitchy and generates EICAS messages like crazy. Also, there are things that they just didn’t take time to do right(VNAV descent, tray table, autothrottle, etc).
On the whole though, I like the jet.

Seniority progression will be faster on the 220 but the trips still don't have much variety (you'll be doing the same 9 or 10 overnights every trip). You have to decide what's more important to you.

This will give you some idea how long it will take to get off reserve, hold weekends off, hold both-end commutable trips, etc.

Anything a 737-900 or 321 can do the neo can do 19 more passengers and 20 percent less fuel
It also burns less than a 757 we know it doesn’t have the runway performance a 757 does but nothing does so might as well have something that can do everything else

Yeah, that’s what I said when we started to grow the 321. The opposite has happened. Lol
