Interiors are easily changed with STCs, the F/A issue would require going back to Mitsubishi with some more cash and requesting a recertification of the aircraft like they did with the 550. But it’s an option if you have the money and the market to use it in… which United does not.
or one could maybe buy a 550 and then try to increase the MGTOW via STC.

if Mitsubishi really does restart the CRJ line it will likely be the third bad choice in a row (number 1 being the whole MRJ/spacejet program, number 2 being buying the CRJ from Bombardier)

there are only so many 700 airframes left. I know that OO is looking in every corner to buy the used ones.
is there enough demand to build new ones? Who knows. Maybe with the right government subsidies for Canadian full employment.
