Looks like a big global! What a joke. Same engines as the 900, same max speed. Crummy range and only at .78? Good luck getting that into small to medium airstrips... IE KSNA, SBA, SLO, yadda yadda. No way your taking reserve plus full pax plus ISA +10 in summer and getting off the ground. WHY EVEN MAKE A 1000??? All that for just a few extra pax? OOOOOOOOOkay.

Considering the CRJ-1000 has the best fuel efficiency of any aircraft in the 100-seat class, they're probably right.

Can you imagine 100 people standing in the jetbridge waiting for the rampers to unload and bring 100 gate checked bags up the stairway!!!
They should have left it as an 8 seat business jet.

Holy crap, I never thought of that... That would be a disaster in DTW, 100 pax waiting for their planeside checked bags, while 2 rampers unload them.

I actually went out of DTW on a XJ CRJ900 just a few days ago, & apparently DAL no longer gate checks bags on the CRJ 700/900 flights. Only the CRJ 100/200 flights. I'm glad they made the change. It makes things less confusing. Plane side claim is now only available for 50 seaters. Every other flight will be plane side checked for baggage claim pick up.

Maybe it's a screw-up due to the integration, but I saw a flight MEM-STL showing a CRJ-1000 on the route on Delta.com just now....I think it's actually a CRJ-200 (I think)....but apparently it is in "the system" to have RJ-1000s as a possible fleet type....
Scared the crap out of me...let's hope it never happens...

It's usually on the 900 but sometimes the 700

Not sure, but I've heard of it happening in IAH too. There were 3 commuting crew members and they gate checked those for plane side pick up, but only for the crew members. They would not hand out pink tags to passengers.
