Alliance E190s subbing in for select MEL-CBR and MEL-HBA A220 services throughout January.

Quite a few of the Hobart A220 services have switched to the 737 too.

Appears X4B has broken down too, currently in the hangar at CBR

So what are they going to do with it? HARS?

 

[Springyboy]

Nah I think they were fitting slat tracks.
Am currently on X4C - overhead lockers seem smaller than a 737 and the headrest doesn’t really lock into place if you move it up from its default position. Other than that (and a 35 min+ delay on takeoff) it’s a decent plane.
Charging is good
Also I saw X4E in the hangar on takeoff so nearly flew it.

A220 MEL-DRW postponed until end of Feb. A220 also being reduced on MEL-CBR/HBA and SYD-HBA.





They have 3 times as many checked A220 captains as they do checked FOs.

MEL-CFS-MEL downgraded to a Q400 today.

It’s like going back in time to 2020 seeing the Q400 in Melbourne again …
