First Qantas A220 revealed

Well I have to say I quite like the A220. Economy legroom seems quite reasonable (my last Y flight was on BA intra-Europe and it's chalk and cheese compared to that). And the new J seat is pretty good too!
 
Sitting next to a paxing A220 captain on flight up to Sydney.

Loves to fly the bird, but a few idiosyncrasies.

It doesn’t like to slow down. Doesn’t lose much energy on descent . coughpit electronics and instrumentation a bit of a nightmare. Always having to reboot things.

Couple of other things, but he’s very proud of the aircraft ( not so much the rest of the fleet 😂)
