Hard to read anything good in it. Too bad, the XR is more capable and more comfortable than the 200. Seems like a good choice in a low demand environment but other factors are at play.[/QUOTE
More capable from a Perfomance standpoint yes .More comfortable? I don’t know
they both suck , cockpit and cabin . I’ve flown both .
They do, compared to the 170 and other 'real cabin' small jets, but not compared to the DHC-8s and Saab 340s they replaced. The stretch CRJs are pretty uncomfortable as well. But if we're talking about 50 seaters I'll take the 145 over the 200 any day, for cabin comfort, performance and the avionics.
