This has to be a nightmare for MRJ! If they could have lightened it up with the composite wing they had a chance.
Bombardier says they won’t put
GTF’s on their crj900 because it won’t save anything because of higher weight of engine. Complete BS if you ask me. Not sure why though. Let airbus help with cost of new engines, wings and avionics. 76 seats and 86,000lbs.
