Baby Bus for market advantage
JB makes it work. Airbus seems motivated to appeal to others with a similar model. Better keep an eye on who they are meeting with.

Reading into the story, this aircraft is here in the states, for the purpose of demo and promotion.
It’s unlikely they are pitching the 220 to DL or JB. Can’t imagine SWA or Alaska is interested either. It would be hard to believe that Airbus isn’t attempting to sell their latest and greatest to one of their best customers. Haven’t done the numbers yet but the combined NK/F9 fleet may become one of the world’s largest narrow bus operators?

How do you make a profit at low margins? Quantity.
F9 has been moving towards more 321s. The time, effort and manpower to operate and turn a smaller capacity aircraft is going to very similar to a larger one in the same ballpark of size. I'd be willing to bet it makes a whole lot more sense to operate fewer large aircraft than more small aircraft...

The ULCC bean counters are different than those of the legacies.
