I’m still thinking they are using the airframe design and revamping the interior not gutting an existing CRJ 700 and rebuilding it. I lean towards believing the CRJ 550 will roll out factory fresh. But what the heck do I know

This is lowering the weights and a new interior. For the pilot, it will be a new set of limitations to learn.
