Most likely not, since once a CRJ reaches 40,000 hours it needs to have it's wing box replaced. There is no deviation from that unless it's being flown to Toronto to perform that task. Since the -100/200 are no longer manufactured, the wing boxes would have to be specially manufactured if someone wanted to comply with the wing box replacement. It's just too expensive and as to date not one wing box has been replaced. That's why ASA wrote off one or more of the aircraft involved in that mishap in BTR. It's just too expensive.

You might be surprised how many hours the c5s and some of the tankers have on them now considering the ops tempo the AF has been at for the past couple of decades.
