Southwest Airlines Considers The Airbus A220 Amid Boeing 737 MAX Fiasco
It seems that some of the Southwest Airlines team are on a trip to Europe, to ‘kick the proverbial tires’ of an A220. What in the world are Boeing’s most loyal customer doing over at Airbus? Could they really be considering defecting to the ‘other’ side?

Will Southwest buy the A220?
If Southwest are planning to move away from a single model fleet, then the A220 could be a suitable replacement. While the 737 can fit a few more passengers than the A220, the comforts on board may make up for this. The seat size on the A220 are an inch wider and have up to two inches more pitch. It has a range of roughly 100 nmi longer, will cost much less to run and can land on shorter runways than the MAX.

Can’t most airplanes “have up to 2” more seat pitch”?

I bet most airliners can! Especially since with the words "up to" in there, all you need is 0.001" to make your claim true.Can’t most airplanes “have up to 2” more seat pitch”?
