The largest MRJ holds 92 people. There is no MRJ that holds 100 pax, let alone 100+ pax. The smallest version holds 78 pax in a single class configuration. The second smallest model(MRJ 70ER) is forecasted to barely squeak under the 86,000 lbs limit at 85,969 lbs. I wouldn't be surprised if it comes in over 86,000 lbs.
The MRJ 70STD has a range of 820 NM and a MGTOW of just over 81,000 lbs.
The MRJ 70 ER has a range of 1470 NM, but really pushes the limit on MGTOW @ 85,969 lbs.
And the proposed scope allows nothing larger then 76 seats.
