RE: CRJ-900

As much I like the 900, I think part of the problem is that is underpowered, and range would be a byproduct of it at 1798nm. Also the biggest issue as mentioned above is the pilot contract clauses at the majors. At XJT you can't even exceed 59 seats at this time. So, you get the picture. Great littl...
