You could add more first or more economy plus but maybe that would ruin the RVSM. The E2 is supposedly way heavier than the MRJ. Something like 10000 lbs on MGTOW but I can't remember exactly. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

They might be able to recertifify the short range version but the problem is it only goes like 1100nm. Maybe that's acceptable for RJs as it should be regional routes but it seems a bit low.
