True, but that is years off. I am speaking of the 100 and the 300.

Airbus has talked a lot about the A220-500 but it is not currently under development.

It won't happen. It is also a direct competitor to the 320 family. They aren't going to spend the time and money producing two airplanes that do the same thing when they can just crank out 320s.

if you leave the anti-ice on while flying non icing conditions, it can melt the engine off the pylon. So the manual anti-ice isn’t even right in the max… the plane is a piece of junk

“Use of the engine anti-ice system in dry air for more than 5min, the FAA says, can cause overheating of the inlet inner barrel “beyond the material design limit”

The only "auto" systems on our 737's are the probe heats and the electric bus ties... everything else requires a ( now better paid) plumber.

This. They are worried about engine ingestion of the melted cowl or it flying off and damaging the fuselage.

Since they can't keep up with the demand for A320s and A321s - even before the MAX problems - they probably have no real sense of urgency about certifying an A220-500.

And when you have people building apps to let the public avoid flying the MAX

While I don't think it is "trash" as you call it, I do agree this aircraft should have died with the last generation. It took a lot of money I am sure to push this thing through but we are stuck with it now, just like Boeing and the FAA are stuck paying for all the crap wrong with it.
