It's probably for Alaska. Rumors are that Alaska management have been walking around headquarters.

What will this mean for Horizon?

Oh swee Jesus, please no more Mainline RJs at regionals!

You can make fun of Canadians all you want, but at least their pilots have it figured out. The CRJ-200 and 700/900 have been allowed at Jazz, but all the EMB 170/175/190/195 are MAINLINE jets at MAINLINE Air Canada.

that makes no sense - why is a 90 seat CRJ a regional aircraft and a 90 seat ERJ a mainline aircraft?

Just because engines are under the wings does not make the aircraft a "mainline" jet. I would prefer that all aircraft fly under their mainline brand but to call the e170 anything different than a CR7 is asinine.

They are probably for the new CAL/UAL.

Exactly, he made a stupid statement. CR2 is mainline as far as I'm concerned. Saab 340 while we are it too.

gater hater, I see your point based on the number of seats alone, however I have to tell you from a passenger comfort, ovehead storage space, and aircraft servicing issue Embraer has the CRJ-700/900 beat in every area of comparison. We will see what Bombardier does with the C Series but there is no comparison at this point !!
