Because literally NONE of that management team is still here.

Well there you go. Decision should be made by mid-year according to this article:

This should give Boeing enough time to come up with a fleet-swap scenario for cheap...
. No doubt the folks at Embraer are desperate to sell more E2 airframes.

100 A321 NEOs + 100 CS300s (A220-300)
I guess time will tell. No doubt Boeing and Embraer are sharpening their pencils.

The order size will depend on pricing, though the carrier is trying to secure enough aircraft to tide it over at least through 2022.

Is there a historical precedent of a fleet swap of this scale? How do we get rid of 177 airbus without hemoragging cash while also retraining literally all of inflight and MX? Seems farfetched.

Maybe despite the big man saying no E2 they have presented a crazy deal recently? Did he elaborate on why the E2 was out?

that's not even close to the same thing.
Now, if you wanna compare us and allegiant going from all md80s to airbuses, sure. but we were both very small airlines when the swap occurred
