Considering all the GTF issues they face, the A220 or E2 likely are too risky at this stage. Can probably get plenty of used A319/320s in the coming years that could provide a bridge beyond the 717 for some time. I would think the GTF issues would be resolved by the time HA decided to order. I can'...
