The E-170 series has a range of 2,000NM with RSVs for the STD version. The Mmo is the same for both models. As far as fuel burn, I could not find any data on the CRJ-900, but if memory serves me correctly, having sat up front on each, the burns are similar.
As far as not being able to notice the difference in the cabin? I will have to disagree with you there. I used to commute on RAH's 175's every week, and they are WAY more comfortable than the CRJ series. They even have bigger seats and more pitch than the US 737s.
Gentlemen.
None of this really matters, mgmt will do what serves in their own best interest (not necessarily the customers and certainly not yours or mine).
We are all on the same team, try not to forget that...
