No dispute it's going to change but net 50 seat a/c in general will not change as dramatically. 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.

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

As to who owns the STC, outside of GAL Aerospace licensing the STC to GJ or SW or UA, who knows?
