IIRC empty weight for the CRJ fleet at Comair averaged around 38,000# or somewhere around there. It's been a couple of months since my furlough, so the numbers are starting to slide for me. 44,000# is max ZFW, 47,000# is max landing weight. My guess with 50 pax at LEX and fuel to ATL is somewhere between 49,000 and 51,000# depending on bags, temp and fuel burn.
