How many CRJs did ACA actually have prior to the switchover? I flew ACA a lot on their ROA-IAD route and some of their Delta Connection routes, and it was nearly always on Jetstream 41's, not CRJs. I got the impression that Independence bought / leased pretty much new metal when they switched over. Can't say for sure, though. Boy, do I miss all the ACA A gates in IAD ... thanks to them going to Independence, I have to travel out of G on UX these days
