These filters extract more than 99.99 percent of particles, including viruses, and we replace the filters twice as often as recommended."
"All" must no mean "all" in airtime management speak.
On the CRJ, there is no recirculation, all the air is fresh outside air. That's arguably better than filtered and recirculated air. But yes technically the quote is inaccurate for a tiny subset of the fleet. You must be fun at parties.
