Let’s hope they put a new autopilot and radar on it.

Mitsubishi didn't buy the factory

"Bombardier is holding onto the CRJ production facilities in Mirabel, Quebec, and expects to complete production of the backlog of roughly 40 orders on behalf of Mitsubishi Heavy in the second half of 2020, the companies said. That could well be curtains for the CRJ. A spokesperson for Mitsubishi Heavy declined to comment on whether the company would resume production elsewhere"

They are already going to redesign the MRJ. Their new M100 will comply with scope. Unlike the M70.

Easier to compete against one product (Embraers) than two.
