I realise the E190s and A319s were planned to be around to a while longer to cover the MAX shortfall, though events in the last week may see a significant drop in domestic trans american flying.
It would be nice to experience the A220, and I'm hoping in this masterplan for route role out, that it does the rapidair routes sooner rather than later though I do like the E190 for fast boarding / deplaning and no middle seating!
It is an interesting question. Had they gone for for the A220-100 I would say it was a E190 replacement. The A220 in the AC configuration is between the A319 and A320 in seats. Delta went with a mix of 100 and 300 aircraft.
Replacing the E190 with A220-300 probably is an indication the E190 is a bit on the small side for what AC needs today.
