    By the way you sort of messed up the explanation of what delta connections is, Delta has a scope agreement with pilots which means a certain number of 76 seater and a functionally unlimited number of 50 seat aircraft can be operated by regional airlines. They are not all owned by delta and currently 5 airlines (Skywest, republic, Endeavor (a wholly owned airline) gojets, and compass (the last two belong to Transtate holdings a company which has some questionable labor practices)) operate as delta connection but by the end of 2020 it will be three (Skywest, Republic, and Endeavor).

Bombardier didn't need Airbus..even with the Law suit Anti trust suit...Airbus saw the oppurtunity to fuck boeing at its own game with Booked orders..220 plus if memory is correct...swiss air has had this aircraft for three years in service. .and 80% of all Regional Jets in last 15 years have been: Bombardier 100/200 700 & 900...embarer wishes they had a sales book that worn out from entries - or a service life as long...don't see alot of 45s still flying most parked in Kingman or hi desert of California..... Airbus is an oppurtunist . ..and it got naming rights so that a lawsuit would not apply to it!!! The fact that 737 max 8 due to software engineering accelerated 220 climb to even more orders is luck. But better to be lucky than smart..... But airbus hardly saved the leader in the segment. They simply saw an opportunity to save billion's and make 10s of Billions by a JV.....while screwing Boeing at the same time.

The same lack of capital doomed the later British airliners of the 1950/60s: Britannia, Super VC-10 and Trident, which with more investment and development could have competed with the 707/DC-8/727.

Worse is they now charge for long haul. United wanted $50 each way, per person, for a hold bag between LHR - SFO. There was a lot of paddies when those at the tail end of the queue couldn’t force their massive bags and multiple coats into bins that filled up before the flight was half full.

    Not gonna lie, I've always been a Boeing fanboy, but having flown Delta's A220s numerous times, I have to say Bombardier/Airbus knocked it out of the park with this one. Even in basic economy I never feel cramped, and the ride is always comfortable. I really got a kick out of the window in the rear lavatory as well.

    Paul you are correct this is a great airplane. I flew it on Delta from LGA to IAH last week after my 12 day voyage on QM 2 from Southampton to NYC via Hamburg and Le Havre. It delivered two important values for me. I could fly non-stop from LGA to Houston and I didn't have to fly on United. It is also comfortable and the food service was fine. I too had the sandwich, even though I didn't know I could pre-order. I will keep that in mind for my next trips.

    I just saw your video of the seaplane route between Nanaimo BC Canada and Vancouver Harbour. Then you flew on a Canadian classic design the De Havilland DHC3 Single Otter. Today you are flying on another Canadian design that you describe as the best single aisle aircraft in the world. There is a history of highly successful functional aircraft design in Canada from the De Havilland Beaver (designed in 1947 and still flying every day around the world) to the AVRO Arrow that stretched the field of multi supersonic high altitude interceptors in the late '50's (until if was scrapped) to the Bombardier C Series that has become the Airbus A 220. Thank you for taking an interest in the small seaplanes as well as this beautiful mid range soon to be classic jet.

    Thanks for the review of a A220 Paul. Regarding people lining up in advance of boarding I've noticed this occurring more frequent due to cabin luggage space availability on short haul flights. I usually check one bag but always have one carry-on. I find it very frustrating once boarding the aircraft and reaching the assigned seat, only to find no more luggage space in the over-head compartments. Airlines created this mess by increased baggage fees. Glad to see from your report over head luggage compartments are larger, hope that is true in the economy seats area...

I have been flying since I can remember and everything from single engine Cessnas in the tropics of PNG, to the 380 which I have flown on about 28 times now. I have also flown on many Embraer in Australia when they first became popular with Virgin Australia and still are. Its not about numbers for me, I am an experience kind of guy, prefer to feel it myself rather than rely on a set of stats. Embraer I still love and until the C-Series came along, it was my favourite regional jet. But its now like a good beer versus a great beer for me. The C-series you drink and just go wow, it hits all the right spots, the Embraer you drink and go, was ok but just lacked that polished edge. If you beg to differ, fine, doesn't mean you are wrong, just a different point of view...healthy to have opinions!!

I felt basically like I was sitting on the couch: had wifi, phone power, and plenty of terrible television to watch. First class seemed to get a meal, even though the flight was only 1.5 hours! Also, comfort plus seems to have a delicious new 'premium snack', the cranberry cluster packets. Get them, they're really good!
