We wasted the best years of our lives at regionals due to scope relief. Our only graceful recourse is to make sure it doesn't happen to another generation, our children, as well.
If you think the CRJ 550 is a threat just watch SkyWest Charter. They will operate 200 with 30 seats. You can really pimp out the ride if you only put 30 seats into a 200. Add first class, snack bar, carry on closet etc. and you don’t even need to recertify any MTOW.
not sure if that’s what they are planning but it certainly is an option
