This will set SKW up to make an educated decision when they ultimately replace their larger CRJ's...they'll have experience with two RJ brands and can pick the best one. All depends on how well mitsubishi can execute their program...on paper it should win hands down.

Bombardier may have hosed themselves by dumping the R&D resources into a quixotic 100 seater instead of updating the 70/90.
