Mitsubishi has been known to make some really bad decisions.

Yea, not going to happen. Next.

Doubtful they would open a factory and build new hangers for maybe a 30 aircraft order..even 100 aircraft.. wish new reports were held accountable for bad/in-accurate or super speculative articles…

The biggest hang up with this airplane is the 65,000 MTOW. Really restricts the options on what can be done with it.....

The Canadians are scared to be out of the aviation business and will be willing to kickin some. GoJet is not going to be able to man more than 40 to 50 planes, if that, which means that someone else will have to take 32 to 42 of them that GoJet was supposed to fly. Expect new deliveries in the second half of 2022. United would like Skywest to take half to give the program a good base and the other half by Air Wisconsin or someone else.

That already exists. It's called a CRJ-700 with 50 seats.
