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"
Another Quebec hater from Alberta who just can't accept that we can build a product the world wanted to buy. CRAs are perfectly good aircraft for their function and an improvement on the CRJs. The reason the order book is thin is because Bombardier has been pushing its new jet which is a generation ahead of both the CRA and Embraer. The CRA suits Chorus' purposes, fleet compatibility and route system just fine.
As for being old, if you call these old what do you call AC's A320s and B763s, many of which date back to the 80s?
