How much more can they stretch that thing before it starts sagging in the middle?!

Just FYI. CRJ 900. Mesa is the only operator in this country. 86 seats

CRJ 705 is the same airframe with 75 seats for scope reasons.

Mesa 900s have the same wing as the 700. Exact same fuel capacity.

There is a different wing on some of the 705s that has more fuel capacity. You can tell by the winglet. The winglet is above and below the wing as opposed to just on top. I think the SkyWest 705s are like this but I am not sure.

The 86 seat version operated by Mesa could have the foreward lav and baggage closet removed and seats could be added. Not sure if the 100 seat version will be the same airframe but it will have that higher fuel capacity wing.

In other countries the CRJ 900 is operated with higher seating configurations than 86 and when it has that extended range wing it is called the 900X (Lufthansa express). I think that the CRJ 1000 is the same as the 900X with a different seating capacity but I am not sure.
 
The only way this would make sense is if it had a LOT of first class seats or if it was operated by some scope-exempt regional spin-off (ie compass)

You're not sure about a lot, yet you keep on talking. Do a little research. By the way Skywest does have 900's not 705's. You're right about them not having the 86 seats. I'm done with you. Dork!

Ah...and you name yourself "flyingfool"? Idiot....
 
Why would you say that? ASA pilots would be the only ones demanding more money to fly them.

Actually, with any luck, those planes, if in the Delta system at all, will go to Delta mainline. If not, it will be bad for all of us. I know it's hard for some, but try to think long term on this one.

Jerry Atkin was just in at the Bombardier plant in Canada about a week ago. He said he was there to close a deal and couldn't elaborate about it yet. I was wondering why he went alone (I do know for a fact that he went alone) and needed to be there in person to do this deal.

I forgot Jerry is just a God like creature isn't he? Will he come visit us on the picket lines? Let skywest fly it all and burn it down.

He went out and visited the "informational picketers" for ASA, when they marched in front of SkyWest HDQ.
