, with its modern wing/flapmdes
CRJ 200's with the "hard wing" were 142kts VRef at max gross landing weight at flaps 45....(more often than not these days) which led to a minimum final approach speed of 147 kts indicated. The -88 lands at almost the exact same speeds if not a few knots less when at flaps 28..... Flaps 40 further lowers those speeds. All that said, the CRJ and -88 generally are within about 10kts of each other. Hardly insurmountable from ATC's perspective. I would imagine the c-series is certified to land "partial flaps" which would put its Ref & approach speeds in the ballpark of everything else making it much less of an issue.

As far as I can tell, that is an enthusiast's website, he can put whatever logo on whatever MSN he wants.
Having said that, those were supposedly originally earmarked for Delta several months ago. And I'm sure Bombardier is extremely grateful for how Delta has acted through this whole ordeal and that they will move heaven and earth to get us some planes....but July still seems optimistic to me.

Maybe they've gotten used to it and spaced accordingly then. At busy airports lately though (last couple years for sure) it seem like min ("visual") spacing on final is rapidly becoming the norm, to the point where not making the expected turn off is a likely go-around. We'll see. Like I said, its nothing insurmountable by any means. But its still a pretty big difference to throw tons of flights a day into an airport like ATL with that big a difference. Easily mitigated by ATC spacing, but will they be proactive and do it?

Not sure about exact ref speeds, but QRLL is 6000 feet, which make the CS absolute champion of Delta's QRLL, with 319 at 6500/319WV at 6700 (med brakes), 88 and 717, 752 and 737-7 at 7000.

Controller once asked me why you 320 guys hot the brakes coming over the markers and 88 guys hold their gear to under 1500'. He was just curious. They seem to make it work but at dca I've seen some compression related go arounds. that place has a diverse mix
