The 50 seat CRJs get a bad rap from the elite frequent flyers mainly due to the lack of a front cabin. For those not accustomed to upgrades, they are a very safe and fast mode of transportation. The are no middle seats to get stuck in and they are slightly wider than the organic Boeing narrow bodies. The only complaint I have is the windows were not moved when they converted the Challenger business jet to the CRJ model, which makes it very difficult to sightsee.
