MSN,
Love you analagy of roses and tulips.

Couldn't have said it better...

LH and Bombardier have had a long term relationship with the CRJ100/200. From their website LH operates over 50 CRJ100/200/700 jets.

In fact Bombardier was very much hoping to secure LH as a big customer for the BRJ-X program.... But LH went with Fairchild-Dornier. Now that FD is no more Bombardier has the opportunity to go back to LH...

You're absolutely right on the RJ being cheaper than the A318 or B717 when it comes to cockpit salaries... It will likely be cheaper to oeprate when it comes fuel as it is a lighter aircraft..

Operation savings will be great when it comes to the RJ when compared to the narrow body aircraft of both Boeing and Airbus.

I am also interested in what AC will likely do with regards to the 7 B744s???

What are they going to replace them with? A340-600s?
