People have been predicting the death of the 50 seat jet for (to my knowledge) atleast 15 years..(possibly longer).....thier voices quieted by plummeting fuel prices usually.
Not saying I disagree with you.....but what's different this time?
The difference now is the planes are getting older. The E-145s and CRJ-200s are now mostly 20-25 years old, they can’t have more than a few more years left in them. The CRJ-700/550 isn’t far behind.
