The CRJ's are supposed to be gone by 2010. The ERJ's currently operating for CAL will be there the full length of the contract.
RUMOR: I don't know the exact details on what happens when the CRJ's start leaving. The RUMOR was they would be replaced with some DAL/UAL 145's as those two codeshares take on more 170/175's (previously announced) although nothing has been stated by the company. CAL's foward looking data shows the CRJ's leaving and the only additions being Colgan Q400's. Take it for what it's worth.
