Interesting. The CRJ900 has been out about 15 years. The CRJ 1000 has been out for a bit, yet all you seem to hear on buying is the CRJ900. What's the difference?
Scope clauses....
I thought I had heard something about pax size. I knew it would have required an extra crew in the cabin. I for got about the scopes.
Why market a larger aircraft, knowing your target customer base is party to a 'Scope Clause'? In looking at orders for Embraer and Mitsubishi, it seems American Regionals have avoided/rejected the CRJ 1000 and related types.
