Lol. It’ll be as much of an issue as an airline that isn’t CATII/III capable. Most of the flights will be going into BOS that five different landing runways....six if it can take the baby runway.

I don’t understand why Delta and JB are passing on the HUDs for the A220. Both SWISS and Air Canada use dual HUDs on their A220s. I realize feelings about using HUDs are mixed by pilots. Sure, the HUDs on the 190s further cramp an already tight cockpit, but the A220 has a wider cockpit and I believe it would further enhance safety.

Having flown with the HUD and a corp aircraft with synthetic vision on the PFD, I much prefer the synthetic vision. Not only do you not have something to whack your head on, but it just looks way cooler. I’m sure the 220 can incorporate it on those massive screens but I doubt we’d pay for it. It was $150k on a Phenom. Collins would probably charge us 10x that.
