Nothing readily apparent jumps out at me.

C series to big and a paper plane.

ARJ, Sukhoi? are within the scope clauses and are actually flying. I guess I don't see a Russian or Chinese aircraft being really reliable.

MRJ is a paper plane still

Maybe they go Q400 or whatever the next gen turbo prop is called.
