I don’t think regional would be better than Aria.

I just think Aria is a bit too much for regional. Do we really need a 24” 4K screen with privacy doors for a four hour long flight? Doors slow cabin servicing where latches need to be checked and additional surface area has to be cleaned. On paper it is too much for short flights with quick turnaround times.

Also, I could be wrong but my napkin math and own rudimentary understanding is that Aria is incompatible to meet the regulatory standards for an A330. I’m not aware of any A330s deployed with any derivative or base configuration of Elements.

Aware my opinion belongs to a very small minority here.

I do genuinely hope new regional still offers direct aisle access and quality modern amenities.
