I don't know what the burn is on the -700 or -900 CRJs. Anyone fly them care to fill us in? But I bet the burn is less per seat on the CRJ 700/900 than on the 200.
On the CR9 when we're still relatively heavy we burn around 3500-3600lbs in the mid to upper 30's. It drops off by a couple hundred pounds or so as we burn more fuel.
