David Neeleman’s ‘Moxy’ Could Launch Long Haul Airbus A220 Flights
He’s started up or been involved with more than six airlines to date, and now David Neeleman is at it again. The as yet unnamed airline, colloquially known as ‘Moxy’, has placed a huge order for A220 aircraft and could be the first to take them long haul. Here’s what we know so far.

It's bad enough using narrow bodies on oceanic flights this is just adding insult to injury. Who am I kidding though airlines don't care about your comfort!
You have obviously not had a CS300/A220-300 flight
There's nothing wrong with using a narrow body for long haul flights. I spent a lot of time crossing both the Atlantic and the Pacific in DC-8s and 707s.
In fact, comfort for coach passengers in the A220 is one notch another A320 series and two above anything called B737. Seats are wider, and there is a surprising amount of space for your knees. I had a window seat and could get out without asking my wife to stand up.
Correction: one notch above of anything in the A320...
They care about selling tickets, and if people will buy them...
Just look at Ryanair. People always talk about how terrible it is, but then they see the prices and sign right up. As long as consumers opt for the product that’s $1 cheaper than the other, airlines (and other producers) will say, “Okay!”
Vote with your wallets, folks. I’d you don’t want to be jammed into a sardine can for hours with no food, don’t pay for it.

If only passengers had some choice about which airline operators they could fly or choose their seat room/level of service.
