VS may wish to leverage it’s parent Delta and switch a few of the many A220’s it has on order to the VS/Connect business. Would imagine the cost savings by returning the worn out and more expensive to run e75’s will be significant!
And of course with the USA slapping punitive duties on aircraft imports from the EU, Delta might see the prospect of diverting some of their A220 order to FlyBe thus saving additional costs that may not have been budgeted for.

Airbus has an A220 production line in Mobile, Alabama so only EU manufactured aircraft would be effected and I doubt Delta will receive any.
....are you sure?.. the A220 was developed with Canadian Government and Bombardier investment (not Airbus) in addition to the assembly line in Montreal, the aircraft will also be assembled in Alabama, USA.

It's going to be reregistered to Stobart Air so I'd imagine it will stay all white

Isn't it also a known fact the E75's cost a small fortune to operate and a sensible mid/long term business case for replacements could be the correct direction of travel, sooner rather than later and whilst the new company is in the midst of a full on top down restructure!
So the minority shareholder of the minority shareholder will re-allocate some of their expensive new assets to help turn round a loss making business in a declining market? Should go down well in Atlanta!

Well here we are and there's no sign yet of an A220 announcement - however you might just have been a week early ...
Press release next Tuesday apparently about the order

Ho hum... Coincidence? Airbus announces undisclosed orders for 14 A220s (ten -100s and four -300s) - it appears these are two different orders from separate customers

It correlates with this, however that rumoured tweet talked about 20 frames and could be me doing 2+2=5...
