Is the fleet tight in terms of routes being covered (deliveries slower) and Delta is spreading it out? Or are some planes being taken out of service for repairs. I’ve also had four (long) mechanical delays since the A220 has entered service.
DL loves to tinker with plane assignments in general. And it's a complicated puzzle cause the plane rarely just goes back and forth between 2 cities, it flies a whole bunch of routes in a single day.
The A220s have had growing pains, but that is somewhat common with a new fleet type. The mechanical problems should taper off hopefully.
I believe deliveries are on schedule, but I'm not certain
