No in all honesty I just don't understand that weight limit. If you're concerned with "jobs", it doesn't make a difference in the MRJs case as it's the equivalent of a CRJ9 or 175 in seats and pretty much weight but slightly over.

Fair enough but I don't know any 90k pound 737 or Airbus.
The original DC-9 was right around 86K lbs, for what it's worth. Damn fine airplane at that weight too

Haha that's how they came up with that number then! The DC9.

I don't think we are going to agree on this. Good luck.

It's a better RJ than the CRJ ever can be, for what it's worth...

might as well bring the CRJ9 and 175s on board at mainline at that point.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^Brightest thing I've seen anyone say on here!

If you want to argue that the MTOW limit makes no sense wouldn't it follow that you think the 76 seat scope limit is arbitrary too? Why not put CRJ 1000s and E195s at regionals?

Well for that to happen, mainline pilots would have to change their minds and elect to fly those aircraft. And mainline management would have to be willing to pay mainline wages to fly those aircraft. Neither of these two conditions has been true for a very long time.

Did Alaska get scope? Hopefully. Probably needed that yesterday if they didn't.
