JB is reconfiguring their A320s to 162 seats. With the same density as an 162 seat A 320 the A220 should get 136 seats. Saying the A220 is similar to the A320 is disingenuous.

Interesting. That's what JB started with and they had problems with transcons so they went to 150. I suppose now that the NEOs are coming they can use them on the transcons and send the older 320s on shorter routes.

I’m guessing the A220-500 will be the 320 replacement in 2025+. There is talk of the -300 doing some transcons. Guess we will see how it’s used.
