HA

US Carriers?....Buying airplanes?!

no way

Why go with a new type, when they could get airbus's or 73's anyways?

US Carriers have always been hesitant on new fleet types.

Skewer Cessnas? :p

I've seen one of those before... except it was a Fokker and paid triple what this one will.

And Comair has the world's largest fleet of CRJs. Also a new design.

When's the last time any one has seen a Russian airplane being flown by any US airline?? Perhaps never?

I doubt very seriously that will change anytime in the near future.

You'll never see this thing operated by a U.S. airline.

What's the name of that thing? Sushi Jet or something?:p Looks exactly like the C-Series by Bombardier, and US carriers will go with the C-Series before that thing...
