Nice! Would love to see UAL order the CS300 (bigger version of the test airplane) and have it flown by mainline to fill-in the 737-500 gap. Air Canada is also looking at the CS300 to potentially replace 20+ E190s.........

The CS100/300 have some fantastic operating stats including almost 3,000 miles max range:

Viva la regionals!!!!

Viva la regionals!!!!

If the regionals fly the C-Series 100 or 300 we are all in trouble. The CS100 has 125 seats in a single class layout (108 in dual class) and the CS300 up to 160 in a single class (130 in dual class). Both can fly up to 3,000 miles max range. It is a very flexible airplane (can operate out of short airfields) and I am hoping at least one of the legacies orders it.

I think Republic has 40 outstanding orders and 40 options for the CS300 and those can be sold to someone else...

Can't wait to see what happens when a DTW ramper pushes that 100% carbon fiber wing into a truck. Oh wait....that would NEVER happen!!
