Old airplanes sent to bombardier to get new cabin configurations?

- The announcement came from left field.
- The announcement instantly removed one (maybe two?) regionals from death row and instantly put one (maybe two?) other regionals on it.
- AA and DL probably will play copycat. Who knows how that will change the regional playing field?
The announcement is a game-changer. Everyone flying for a regional ultimately is playing that same game. We're all taking notice.

It sounds like it is NOT a new type as it has commonality with the others. But it sounds like these are new purchase aircraft. They may be a change of 700s that we’re already on order. Whether or not any others get reconfigured is yet to be seen.
And for what it’s worth, when RW was talking about getting rid of the CRJs, he said AA was looking for a new 50 seater, but there was nothing out there unless Bombardier did something else with the CRJ. Maybe he was speculating, maybe he knew something.

Not the first time this has happened. There's a 70 seat max version of the CRJ 900 out there known as a CRJ 705. Now there's a 50 seat max version of the CRJ 700/701/702 known as the CRJ 550.
Apparently ALPA once successfully argued that removing seats and arbitrarily restricting MTOW doesn't qualify for being a smaller airplane with regards to scope. But if you take the airplane and get it re-certified as a type with lower MTOW and max seating capacity it does.
Also, AirCanada is currently having bombardier convert their 705s to 900s with an appropriate change in type. So it's reasonable to believe the FAA would let Gojets get some of their 700s re-certified as 550s.
