What precisely are you contesting in the article? FAA certification is required and most non-essential FAA functions are shut down. I am sure Delta is working through the problem but it is not unlikely that there would be issues.

Just read at Airways that Delta may have to delay the entry into service of the A220. It seems that with the government shutdown many FAA inspectors have been furloughed and Delta is having a hard time getting the ones remaining to cover the route proving flights necessary for the certification of a new type into their fleet. And the beat goes on...
Airlines can't get federal officials to sign off on new planes and routes amid the U.S. government shutdown, while keeping federal aviation workers furloughed or unpaid altogether threatens the country's key aviation sector, industry members said Thursday.
Airlines need federal safety inspectors to debut new aircraft. For example, Delta Air Lines scheduled a launch Jan. 31 of its brand-new Airbus A220, a plane it's using to court business travelers with bigger seats and windows. It needs to fly with FAA safety inspectors before the aircraft can be introduced to the public. Additionally, Southwest Airlines is awaiting government approval to begin service to Hawaii.
"This partial shutdown has already inflicted real damage to our nation's aviation system and the impacts will only worsen over time," said the letter, signed by unions representing pilots, flight attendants and mechanics, and a trade group that represents American Airlines, United Airlines and FedEx, among other large carriers.Investors are starting to take note. Jamie Baker, airline analyst at J.P. Morgan Chase, said even if the government reopens soon, it could ding first-quarter airline revenues and said "idled workers are increasingly unlikely to plan lavish summer vacations."

Incidentally, Delta themselves say things are under control: "Delta continues to monitor the situation and will work with the FAA to ensure that the A220 is fully certified when it enters our fleet. No customer disruption or impact to schedules are expected."

I'm not contesting anything, I'm just saying the article is full of guesswork with no supporting evidence whatsoever. In my opinion, it's very sloppy journalism.

In terms of "under control", Delta's statement is corporate speak that just says that they will have to follow the FAA rules (duh) and that they will still run schedules as planned (just likely with different planes if required - Delta does not consider an equipment swap to be a customer disruption). They have plenty of spare MDs (incl. 717s) in low season that they can run on this route if needed (I assume they would pick an MD since the seating capacity and arrangement is similar).

I'm not sure what guesswork the article is implying. The groups that certify planes at the FAA are furloughed... this may disrupt Delta's ability to fly the A220 as planned. That isn't guesswork, that's just common sense. Hopefully all this gets sorted before the end of January and Delta can scramble to get certified, but there is no guarantee of this.

When an article answers the above, that to me will be a well researched article. The article under discussion answers NONE of those questions. That, to me, is sloppy.
Look, you don't have to agree. It's possible I just have higher standards of evidence and journalism than you do. That's fine. I'm not going to spend more time on this.

I mentioned 717 as this is almost certainly the plane swap they would use (110 seats vs 109 seats, identical F layout and 1 extra row of C+ means no bumps) and they are still approved to fly out of LGA. I consider a 717 an MD despite the Boeing rebrand, so apologies for any confusion.

What percentage of the certification process is complete? What steps remain? Has the process come to a full stop, or is it simply slowed down? Who are your sources for this information? When you say "reportedly": reported by who? What were their sources?

Ironic that you have high standards for reporting and then read a means-nothing Delta statement as being relevant...

edit: after some digging, there is some talk about RNAV requirements at LGA in this thread. My takeaway is that Delta probably could have managed to continue to fly MD-88s out of LGA (excluding pressure on noise issues) but decided it wasn't worth the effort.
