Reread what Kirby said . Daddy has spoken . Im listening to the guy who is writing the checks . |

Single class 50 seat departures will be reduced to only 10% of daily departures by 2023 . Complete fleet overhaul complete by 2026 .

All I'm saying is that your certainty that the future is written already is unwarranted. Skepticism, sure. Certainty of demise? A little much given the evidence. |

550 ≠ 700/701/705
Not exactly. The only difference between a 550 and a 700 is the MTOW has been administratively reduced on paper. This was done to fit the 550 within the UAL scope clause which limits the 50-seaters by MTOW. The 550 concept didn’t exist until 2019 and no new 700’s or 550’s have rolled off the assembly line since then. Yet they are flying. That’s because every single 550 is a CRJ 700 that was either owned by Mesa or Skywest which has had an interior modification and a new W&B issued for a restricted weight in the 50 seat config. All 550’ are converted 700’s You can google this yourself Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Really? I really don’t know how to say this more clearly. The 550 is not a 700 The discussion here centered around a fictional STC that made 700s into 550s. I simply pointed out the 550 is its own Make meaning it wasn’t made via STC. HULAS doesn’t own the 550 STC because the 550 didn’t come in to existence via STC.

So, is this fake? I’m not trying to argue with you, but this is on the FAA STC database site. Kind of hard to say the 550 didn’t need an STC to become a 550.
