Just a note, this only affects the 100/200 series. The 700 & 900 has the new dynamic flight director, and can be used for takeoff. Also, there isn't the F/O takeoff limitation on them either.

And one more minor detail of the 700/900: They are equipped with leading edge devices!

Well, while we're stating the obvious, they have heavier tires, larger fuel tanks, more seats, and more powerful engines.

My point was that the 700 & 900 weren't affected by the AD more due to the better flight director, not the slats. That comes from our program manager, who got it from Bombardier. I do concede the fact that they are related though.
