If we're really paying or were going to pay $8M for an MD90 to go from China to the line and given I think the big RJs were published at prices of $35M range, not sure if thats current, but its probably a safe bet to say a CRJ900 comes in probably at least 2X the cost of 160 seat MD90.

Just curious, not going anywhere really, just playing with numbers.
