Delta A220-100 Inaugural Flight First Class

[@Kyltzar]

I have been working as quality assurance for the assembly of the CSeries since 2011 and I am (and we all are) feeling so proud of this aircraft. I've worked on the first units for testing till now… almost 80 units. We are so proud of this aircraft and we are also grateful that the torch has been passed to Airbus in order to keep our baby alive. Thanks for the great review… Keep up the good work…

[@briansaxon9364]

I work in assembly of the TR and inlet with Collins aerospace and we are excited for the future of this plane and are proud to be a part of it!

[@SyntaxOverflow]

I am just sad it has to be called Airbus A220

[@Evan_Rodgers]

Taking my first first class flight later this week on this beauty, and it is the perfect way to end a wonderful trip. Cheers to you and your colleagues for designing and assembling an instant classic.

[@NiggaTigga94]

And THIS is why Boeing tried to ruin Bombardier and the rollout of this plane. They knew this plane would dominate the regional / short to mid-range market since they had no current plane to match it in passenger comfort, amenities, and technological advancement. On behalf of Canada, we hope you guys enjoy this amazing piece of Canadian innovation and are delighted to have this plane become part of more Airline fleets for many years to come.

What happened regarding Boeing? Anti competitive shenanigans?

[@davidhoffman1278]

@@samsmith3025 , Yes. Adding to it was President Trump's decision to throw out NAFTA and treat Canada as an economic threat to the USA. One of the stupidest trade fights ever. So the Canadians went around the mess by partnering with Airbus in a wierd way.

[@texasabbott]

Superb video. A mini-787 with the powerful takeoff performance of a 757. Delta made a phenomenal investment for its passengers. Well done Bombardier. You built an aircraft of total domination.

[@evangirodriguez9554]

It's a mini a350. 787 isn't near quiet as this

Amazing report! The Delta A220 and the soon to be flying A330neo I think starts the innovation of Delta. But I will sure miss their MD-80’s when they go

[@traveljoe5908]

I hope we get these here at ALB

[@saml6084]

@Canadian Delta is replacing the MD-80 and MD-90s with the 737-900 and the A321s. The A220 is replacing the Boeing 717’s.

[@cheeseman1772]

@@saml6084 They're already replacing the 717's? Aren't they newer though?

[@saml6084]

@Cheez Boi Actually quite the opposite. The 717’s have been in service with delta for a few decades now. The A220 is around the same size as it, and most likely 717 pilots will fly the A220.

[@SeekingCumulus]

@@saml6084 incorrect. I believe you're thinking of the MD88/90 fleet. The 717 fleet was acquired from Southwest, after they got them via the AirTran buyout.

I was just watching Jeb Brook’s Video on this! How convenient

[@Gsydney83]

Me too - lol😀👌🏽👍🏽

[@Pileits]

Being a retired airline Capt at United I have to admit this Airbus 220 is the right airplane for many MANY routes. Even though Ive flown Boeing's for I acknowlege this airplane makes better sense then what Boeing has to offer for short haul routes. The 737 is to much of a "sardine" can and this 220 seems to offer a lot more comfort so I give this airplane a thumbs UP. Wake UP United this IS the future!

[@tpplatfzft]

Magnificent interior. Delta made the right decision. I flew the CS100/A220 from Salt Lake City to Houston and really enjoyed the in-flight experience.

Awesome Video - Former NWA/DAL FA here. Miss this job and hate I missed out flying on such an awesome aircraft!

[@marvin7533]

In January this year, I was fortunate to get on this plane unexpectedly in Fayetteville, NC to ATL laying over there. Most were shocked getting on in Fayetteville, being it's a small regional airport. There was a 35 min delay while everyone was on. The pilot apologized, and announced that the baggage handlers loading, didn't have any experience loading these newer planes (use to small regional planes), and told passengers he'll be making a call to ATL to have Delta trainers go to Fayetteville to train. He also explained the importance of being balanced. I can recall hearing bags being tossed around, being pulled out, tossed, etc.... I could tell the handlers were frustrated, but the pilot again announced the plane isn't leaving until loading is correct. My final destination was Daytona Beach on a regional plane. When arriving, went to baggage claim, and seen my suitcase all beat up, torn pocket, a missing zipper, and the handle was ripped apart. Filed a claim through Delta, and received a refund for damages a couple days later. Other than that, this plane was awesome! A smooth quiet take off, and smooth quiet landing. I have a picture of this plane that I took that morning arriving in ATL I'd show you all, but not sure if I can attach pics here.

[@MeowyJaguari3553]

Brilliant trip report. It's always fun to be on an inaugural flight and meet other Avgeeks

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

With COVID-19 they have a new task - to operate between Delta's hub airports. In August if I fly there is a A220-100 waiting for me from LaGuardia to Minneapolis/St.Paul. It takes the place of a 767 that used to fly the route, so a huge reduction is seats.

Even the reverse thrust was quiet the A220 looks like a nice ride.

[@robyoungquist5803]

Props to you Q for another great review. Ummm are you sure about the tablecloth comment? I just flew LAX/ORD/MIA on AA last week ( million miler with them) and both flights we had tablecloths and cloth napkins). Also over the past two years, American Airlines’ management has been obsessed with fleet simplification - from retiring older aircraft types (like the MD-80) to ditching smaller aircraft types (Embraer E190s) and “harmonizing” aircraft seat arrangements on all of its other aircraft. Indeed, simplification was a significant reason behind American Airlines cancelling its Airbus A350 order and doubling-down on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner in its place. AA’s goal is to reduce its aircraft types and unique seating arrangements from 52 different sub-fleets to just 30 sub-fleets by 2022. I think United is doing the same. Makes sense no? Keep up the fantastic work 👍🏻

[@danishbegmirza]

Hey, really nice coverage. Looks like you had a great flight. This aeroplane certainly fits into a very unique niche of the aviation market providing a comfortable medium-haul range in a small package. Thanks for sharing!

I really like how delta made a big deal about the A220 inaugural flight. In contrast American Airlines didn't really care with there 737 max Inaugural flight. Plus its amazing how well Delta takes care of there planes. They buy old planes at a discount and transformation them to almost like brand new. I'm willing to bet if American had placed an order for the A220 it whouldn't look as nice as Deltas they would cut back on the seats and keep the plane looking like a flying buss.
