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).

Pump the brakes man.... Airbus didn't save Bombardier they both similar management styles...lean on the Government for financing where as Boeing relies on HUGE government Defence Funding for keeping it's commercial "wing" flying... 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.

@tissot233 4 года назад

@@richardloveday1092 Didn't save Bombardier? Airbus literally just paid over 400 million to Bombardier to save them for the short term debt. Bombardier was moved to junk loans year ago and sold their train operations to Alstom for 9 billion. There's hardly a Bombardier company left anymore.

@@richardloveday1092 Bombardier could not raise the capital to build the aircraft in sufficient numbers, before Boeing did their number. 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. The Britannia's US equivalent, the L-188 Electra, wasn't a great commercial success, though it still flies for Buffalo.

haha the comment about people lining up well before the flight is called. I understand people want guaranteed luggage space but surely a seat near the gate and jumping up in the first 10 or 20 people would suffice.

I totally agree about the A220s looks too, it looks fantastic!

@0tispunkm3y3r 4 года назад

SethC12 people bring far too much as well. I’ve seen people with multiple large bags and those “carry-ons” that seem to extend into basically a suitcase that won’t fit in the bin. 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.

@SkiDaBird 4 года назад

It's going to be the dominant regional jet. It's smaller than the 320 and 737 are, so it won't eat into their market too much. The ability for carriers to open up new routes should be really exciting though.

@@SkiDaBird The A220-300 is similar in size to the A319 and 737 Max 7. There are rumours that there will be another stretch (A220-500) which will be closer in size to the A320 or 737 Max 8. Though the A320 will likely have more range and higher payload capability.

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.

Mr Lucas, I do not think I have ever written to you before. I am disabled and not able to travel much. I am able to go here and there a little bit have had five major back surgeries and traveling is very difficult because of the pain. Thank being said, I Love your videos. I remember Delta operating the old 727, MD 11, and the DC 9, I believe. Your videos take me to places I could only dream of going. Please continue your wonderful work!

Boeing screwed the pooch by forcing another iteration out of the 1960s technology 737 rather than designing a new aircraft to use 2010s technology.

@garystrankman3841 4 года назад

Their biggest mistake was not buying the program from Bombardier themselves, instead they let airbus snap it up. Boeing management should resign enmasse for their short sightedness and sheer stupidity.

@@garystrankman3841 im glad airbus and not boeing bought the program from Bombadier.

@Horizon301. 4 года назад

Malte Spielt agreed. Makes more sense as they share suppliers and can easily adopt it with their shared cockpit similarities for example. Boeing would have a hard time adding anything other than what bombardier had already

@southwestman84 4 года назад

Oh you mean what airbus and Boeing both do all the time?

@carmengrace2413 4 года назад

Gary very true, Boeing tried to bury it than buy it, they would have had a modern, clean sheet airplane ready to go. 13 billion for McD Douglas was a complete waste of money.

Paul, I love the Airbus A220 because of those big overhead bins and the mood lighting.

@owenprice3989 4 года назад

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...

@Bobskiboy85 4 года назад

Still the Bombardier C-Series 200 and 300 for me, but will eventually get used to the A220 tag. One of the smartest acquisitions by Airbus as this is indeed the best short to medium range regional jet, period. Sleek, powerful, ultra quiet and with great interior design, its a pleasure to fly on them.

@oanceamihaela1713 4 года назад

I believe you are wrong. The best medium-range regional jet is Embraer. Check the numbers.

@Bobskiboy85 4 года назад

@@oanceamihaela1713 For most of us aviation lovers, its a personal choice. 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've watched one or two other reports on this aircraft before yours and I'll make two points: 1) All reviewers agree this is an excellent aircraft... hardly a bad word to say about it (I now want to fly on one!), and 2) Your reviews are certainly the most professional... keep it up!

@Sacto1654 4 года назад

In fact, every airline who flies the A220 (neé Bombardier C-Series) airliner *LOVE* it for its passenger comfort, extremely low noise levels and fuel economy. No wonder there are rumors that Southwest is actually considering buying the A220-300 to replace their oldest 737-700's, many of which are 18-20 years old.

@12345anton6789 4 года назад

Sacto1654 The A220 has 18,5 inches wide seats in economy, no narrow body aircraft can compete with that. The 737/757 has 17, the A320 has 18. And as you say the low noise level, it’s easy to understand that the passenger love it.
