We are saturated with pilots and equipment. Other markets are hurting more for pilots and could care less about scope. So tell me again why the MRJ is screwed because of weight...
So if you were to pour billions and billions of dollars into an airplane (like Japan and Mitsubishi) you would totally ignore the US? Ridiculous - pull up some stats on how many airplanes fly in the US verses whole other continents. If they don't sell this plane in the US the project will be a failure. There is no getting over ourselves - the US market is huge and will make or break this plane.
