James, the same thing (2 flight numbers) was happening with the B717's going east.

Tony, Are the reliability and parts issues getting any better ?

Delta, bought one for spares just recently.

[Ayden H]

It's mostly the older units that have engine reliability issues, not saying that the new ones don't, but the older ones are affected the most. Air France sent a few of their new 220s into storage at Toulouse Francazal without engines, similar to what NZ did with a few of their A321neos.

I expect an engine change (hopefully 1st one) on a brand new frame (arrived 12/2024) is telling enough.

[Tony JC]

Making metal I believe.

They do engine changes on new aircraft to mix up the engine times etc. Helps with maintenance and also redundancy.
