But I have been wrong many times.
I'd say that's a pretty logical assumption.

I thought the biz case for the E2 would win out. And that our ELT favored the E2 proposition...until recently. With Boeing’s recent move, and some rumors I’ve heard from “people who know people, or who talked to RH, etc.” I now think C series may be in our future. Just a hunch. Not betting any money on BBD (though I wish I did a year or two ago).

I would prefer it I just have this feeling that we hit the easy button and go E2. But I do think long term the C is a much better move.

And we'll know Q1 2018. Sometime between July and November. Unless there is a hurricane or a GDP in EWR. Then delayed again.

How many years before we’ll see the first US built C-Series built?

C series looks great. Just seems like a lot of plane for what we need it to do which is go BOS-DCA 7 times a day.

But it isn't less economical than the e2... but can is more economical on the longer routes we do on the 190. Bos-msy bos/jfk-fll/rsw bos-aus etc

319s/321LRs plus keeping the non-leased 190s.
RH told me this himself

No 319s. The rest we'll know in 2019, unless there's a GDP in LGA. Then 2020.
