All deals made with reps from other carriers they had dinner with at the Paris airshow.

I bet 50+ additional airframes to this order as well.

I’ll second this prediction. There are routes that can’t support an A320/21 and the A319 is not efficient on many routes with the lower seat count. The A220-300 would be an awesome addition. No doubt the Paris Air Show is the place for these types of announcements.

I have wet dreams about the A220 but dont get your hopes up. Airbus is not giving us no price cuts n raising rates lol. Guess it pays to be popular. Boeing will entice us and give us free planes/training. Thinking about how we roll at spirit and having to bring our own coffee to training. I feel that it's the reason it's taking so long. Boeing is putting up a fight

Why do people like the A220 so much. It’s just a bigger RJ with sidesticks.

Call it what you want. It would pay the same as our 319/320/321. If it gives me a better QOL. I’ll fly the big RJ.

What leads you to believe Spirit would pay the same for both types? Honest question.
