Rising fuel prices will quickly make it a bad idea when an A220 doesn’t burn much more fuel than a CRJ but carries 100 or 130 passengers vs 50.
if Mitsubishi really does restart the CRJ line it will likely be the third bad choice in a row (number 1 being the whole MRJ/spacejet program, number 2 being buying the CRJ from Bombardier)
