Just flew on my third A220, all in F. You do feel the plane moving a bit when the ground crew closes the cargo deals. it isn't too bad. You do also hear a funky noise when the engines spool up for take off. But, the landings feel normal to me. All in all, I like how it's really quiet inside and the cabin is comfortable.

Yes, I was told by a Delta employee on a recent flight that this is permanent... The plan is to send all of the 717s to the East Coast and use 220s as the primary a/c on all West Coast routes. Some former E175 flights will upgauge and some 737 flights will downgauge. DL management feels this a/c is a game changer and the a/c alone is enough to steal significant market share from AS. DL feels AS is their ONLY competition on the West Coast and have observed that the public perception of AS's product has slipped in the last year. Because they feel the a/c can stand on its own as a marketing tool, DL also will be cutting amenities in time (such as exception meal routes).
My thoughts were that DL management is extremely arrogant and perhaps overconfident, but also that this strategy made sense.

Had my first A220 flight over the weekend from SEA-SFO, sitting in F. As others have said, there is a little bumping/moving around felt here while the bags are being loaded underneath, felt a little bit like some light "rough air". Not a big deal though. While the engines were spooling during our taxi, they made a sound that reminded me of something like subway train brakes.
The FAs seemed to still be figuring out all the ins and outs of the touchscreen controls in the front galley (the screen didn't seem as responsive as they wanted it to be, so it took about 30 seconds after the announcement of the safety video for them to navigate a few menus to then play the video). I also thought it was interesting choice that the announcements don't seem to play through the IFE headphones, instead the video pauses and you get a message that's something like "PA announcement, please remove headphones."
That being said, as a passenger, I really enjoyed the plane. It felt roomy, it was quiet, and as much as I enjoy the B717s on the west coast routes, having the IFE screens is a nice plus. I did go all the way to the back lav to see the one with a window, which was really cool and felt pretty spacious! Alas this was the last flight of the night, so not much of a view. Also being that late the flight was scheduled to be just the snack basket anyways, so I can't comment on the meals on this exception route. Looking forward to future opportunities to ride this plane

It doesn’t appear the flight attendants have gotten any better at the IFE or it still remains very buggy. I’m on board an A220 now and while the movies are working, they had to do a manual safety demo.

For those of you zapped me for my problematic experience with A220, here we go ahead. Another A220 delay - full day of it, all seem to be equipment related. Check out tail number N113DQ... its mission history is a sea of red, delay after delay, even with Delta's super padded schedule, it's still late.

I guess I am not crazy then... Of any of the modern or classic aircraft out there, name another one that has these kind of "features". Today's A220 delayed because of engine issue, I think this is my 7th or 8th A220 ride. Man, I really start to dislike (not quite hate) A220. Delta has aligned the A220 time slot for connecting to/from international flights, so you have "new" plane experience of A220 <-> A350 or A220 <-> A330neo in Seattle, but A220 is the let down. They better work out all the kinks...
- A220s frequently have mechanical cancellations or inoperative IFE: These are important issues that, IMO, need to be fixed asap
- You don't like the sound of the engines and the cargo doors: These are, IMO, personal preferences that don't need to be fixed asap

IMO, you're grouping some very different complaints:

IFE is a software issue and has no safety concerns... Engine issue, or weird spool up noise, or cargo door jolting up and down are all mechanical and it's silly to suggest it's unreasonable to think can't or won't lead to long term impacts.

Why are we aiming low?! The likes of DL are making a lot of profits, I won't kill them to put out some more edible food. And please don't knock the European airlines. Even their cold sandwiches and pastries taste far better than DL's. Heck, even the butter is tastier.
As a frequent flyer (and management level person), I often question DL's wisdom. In the world of arguing about one-time-use plastics, or excessive waste and conservation, DL is all over the places and often times make really silly and even down right dumb decisions. DL is spending money on luxury disposable napkins and multi-color menus on international economy meals. The napkin is so thick and tough, you can use it to wash dishes, yet it's disposable and I am sure it's not very biodegradable. Similarly the menu cards, it's growing in size and have now gone multi-color printed on very glossy paper. Those items all costly, they could easier get rid of them and spend that money towards the food itself. All that "enhancements", DL still serve a cold rock hard pretzel board that most passengers won't eat. DL is not spending money to improve passenger experience, or if I am nicer, I would say they are not spending money on the right things. SEA to SJC or SEA to SLC are 2 hours, that's threshold to have a decent hot meal... Stop wasting money on Alessi-designed unpractical serving wares and spent an extra $1-2 on food. Just realize that those SEA departing flights often carry passengers from KE, MU, and MF. They all have that expectation of a warm meal on a 2+ hour flight, especially in F.

The reason DL doesn't do this is simply because they don't need to. The planes are full. They're more profitable than the competition.
