Default Crj550

Interesting development. The 50 seater revolution kept alive by United. New CRJ550 announces and United will be launch customer. 50 aircrafts on order. 18ft longer, bigger baggage compartments, performance, etc.

As we all know, AAG is reactionary, they can flip the switch on our CRJ700. Let’s stay tuned.

Were is scope choke going?

Will Embraer compete by creating another 50 seater?

I don’t even know why it got a new name. They literally just reconfigured the cabin. Usually manufacturers have to at least change the avionics or engines to rebrand something that already exist.

Isn’t the “140” just a 135 with a reconfigured cabin basically?

Edit: Nvm it’s a different length

It’s a new interior on the 700 not new hulls. Just a way around scope by Kirby and it allows Republic to place some of the 175’s that they ordered.

Marketing. It will likely only be called that on the United website. Frequent flyer passengers have become wise to associating seating configurations with particular aircraft types. To them, CRJ-550 will stand out vs CRJ-700.

They are new hulls apparently, you wouldn't need to work with Bombardier to reconfigure a current 700.

It’s a new Hull people... launched by Bombardier... 3 class cabin. Bigger overhead bins, performance, etc.

It is not a new hull. It's a new type that falls under the good ole CL-65.
Current GoJet 700s are getting reconfigured, not much to see here.

Looks like PDT will be merging with PSA in the future instead of Envoy now

Your saying this is the same hull as a crj700 but with 50 seats?

Old airplanes sent to bombardier to get new cabin configurations?
