There would be a lot of CRJ's sitting in the desert that Air Georgian could have picked from.

I spoke with Air Georgian management a while ago and was told they would get 6 CRJs total (including 1 spare).

So far they have:
C-FWJI - former Jazz, former Air Canada
C-FSKM - former Jazz, former Air Canada
C-FWRS - former Jazz, former Air Canada
C-FWRT - former Jazz, former Air Canada
C-FWJF - former Jazz, former Air Canada

So there is probably 1 left to be painted into AC Express, but all of the aircraft currently operating are ex-QK ex-AC.

AFAIK no interior modifications were done... the windows are immovable and no dropped-floor is available for the -100/200, only -700/900/1000, so with Air Georgian they are at the regular CRJ height. As for other differences noted by the OP, I can't speak to those but I would be surprised if it had anything except the grey leather Jazz interior it had when it was retired a few years ago.

The aircraft are owned by AvMax (parent company of R1)
