This statement always makes me laugh. Have you seen the bigger version (CS300)? This ain’t no RJ - check out this link:

Bumped into a friend of mine at Delta who just made the switch to the CSeries for a better schedule and said it was the easiest airplane he had ever flown and he has no intention on leaving it as the fleet continues to grow....
Time will tell if Spirit orders it. Would make sense to do a combo deal with Airbus for a mix of A220s and A321Neos. If it happens, it would also make sense to announce it at the Paris Air Show this week.

New fleet types and more bases will benefit a few but there is no doubt it will dilute the relative seniority of most. Fewer bases with a large amount of flying on a single fleet give the most flexibility and further down the seniority list. Obviously if you live in a city with a new base opening your qol will improve drastically over commuting but it’s not good for the group as a whole.

Fair point...
However, this thread is about a possible plane order. And if a mixed fleet is the result, the impact on one’s seniority would be diluted vs. remaining a single fleet. Especially if part of that order is a replacement for some of our aging aircraft and not in addition to.
