Why would there ONLY be 11 orders? Maybe other airlines ordered them? Let's look at Wikipedia.... Also, isnt' the CRK (CRJ1000) line open? That one just got a boat load of orders from Garuda in Indonesia. All the CRK is is a stretched CR9. I would think they could keep the line open if needed. That's like a 737-900 and a 737-800.

Looks like China Express Airlines and Rwandair have some unfilled orders. I think Iraqi Air also ordered some. Let's find out?
