Fuel loading plays a factor as well. The higher the fuel load the CG will move aft as well. But on short flights they won't carry as much fuel.
That would explain why I've been moved a few times. Most of the flights out of my regional airport use the CRJ-200. I don't mind because that usually means the flight is fairly emptyl. I actually get some room to spread out, well as much room as one can get on a CRJ-200.
