I fly on an E every month, never had an issue,
The simple fact is the CRJ is dead product, no new orders, they managed to sell 600 of the pieces of crap, on price. Passengers for the most part hate them.
in 5 -10 years as the leases end, all of them will be flying in 3rd countries, if at all.
oh it's 2012, 2007 is 5 years old, not "new"
