The CRJ-700ER is a much better A/C when it comes to fuel efficiency


UAL does not want 50 seaters anymore because they are losing money on them since.

The CRJ-700 is not more fuel efficient when you have 50 out of 70 seats occupied.

The EMB-145LR and especially XR, is more efficient than any CRJ200.
