I would think that the CRJ1000 would be a money-loser for Bombardier. It is a 50-pax jet that's been stretched to 100 seats. This is opposed to the E-jets, which were designed for the 70-100 market and are made to be more comfortable in that market. Unless the CRJ1000 has better economics than the E-190, I don't see it selling too well. You can only stretch a plane so much. The 757-300 was a flop, as was the 767-400.

That being said, the scope crisis is now a bigger issue than ever. It's not something I'm looking forward to in my career.
