it'll be nice if it is just matter of software fix (Boeing probably disagree but .... )

Will Southwest take some A220s? That will be quite some order if even half those 737-700NGs are replaced by A220s. Seriously, if they are being sensible, I don't see how this airline would go with either the 7 MAX or 8 MAX on a 1-to-1 replacement basis. One is not the most efficient option in the market, and the other is a massive jump in capacity. For the size of the fleet we are talking here, either way it is going to make a significant impact on the bottom line despite the commonality argument. Airbus ought to lay the groundwork for higher production rates on the A220, just in case they figure this out...

A220 operators told to limit engine thrust at high altitude 28 October, 2019 SOURCE: FlightGlobal.com BY: David Kaminski-Morrow London Operators of Airbus A220s are facing operational limitations of the twinjet's engines, following several serious incidents involving powerplant failure.Transport Canada has issued an emergency directive covering both the A220-100 and A220-300 models, which are exclusively fitted with Pratt & Whitney PW1500G engines.A220 engine checks revised after high-cycle Swiss failure.
29 October, 2019 SOURCE: FlightGlobal.com BY: David Kaminski-Morrow London www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/a220-engine-checks-revised-after-high-cycle-swiss-fa-461871/US regulators have disclosed that the most recent incident involving failure of a Swiss Airbus A220 engine occurred with a powerplant which had accumulated more than 300 cycles. Two earlier Swiss A220-300 incidents involved low-cycle Pratt & Whitney PW1500G engines – the failures occurring at 154 and 230 cycles.
Is it approaching a time that a more widespread 'look' at P&W engines might be indicated? Perhaps I'm being unduly biased by reported information but there's at least a whiff to me of suspicion of quality issues there and a need for their investigation.
