On the end (after some discussion) we do see the current situation EXACTLY the same. The life brought A319neo here - it exists, and will be produced (and of course sold) in small quantities, and AB will have overall no profit on the model. I will not enter a discussion of profit per sub-type, as I think manufacturers are thinking and acting in terms of profit per aircraft family. There is no satisfactory way of splitting costs among members of the same family ! Moreover, one of the advantages of having an additional though marginal family member is that this increases the market appeal of the whole family ... That's probably one of the reasons Airbus has been hesitating about the fate of the A358 ...

a380.boards.net/post/144141/thread looks like no A220 for Spirit in near future Apparently according to this tweet Spirit still has a conversion rights to go for A220. But A319neo is their choice for now.

I posted what follows in the 'Airbus orders 2019' thread. I think that post belongs here as well.
The choice of the A319neo is the most interesting feature of the Spirit Airlines deal. That subtype is not stillborn, after all !
