I do see the CRJ-200 going away in the next few years, but I definitely do not see 50 seat RJ’s going away.
I just rode on one for the first time, it is ten million times better than the typical fifty seat disgraceful experience that gets foisted on the traveling public.Originally Posted by iahflyr
I do really like the CRJ-550 as it fixes a lot of the issues with the CRJ-200. Newer, first class and economy plus seats, and WiFi. It burns about 8% more fuel than a CRJ-200, but fuel is cheap, and just a few % revenue premium for having first class and economy plus seats more than make up for it. I’m surprised United hasn’t replaced all the CRJ-200’s with CRJ-550’s.I do see the CRJ-200 going away in the next few years, but I definitely do not see 50 seat RJ’s going away.
