With middle seat blocking, the 717 and A220 are actually LESS desirable in economy right now since if you're on the A/B side, there is no guarantee of seat blocking. If on an E-175, if you're on the C/D side, same issue. The same issue persists on the 767 and A330 in Y with middle-seat blocking. Right now in Y, 3x3 layouts are more preferable then 2x2 or 2x3 layouts.
