CRJ-200 useful life?

[OzBushWhacker]

Rode on a 200 the other day and it seemed to be kinda long in the tooth.

Whats the design life of a CRJ?

Wonder how long will they last as they seem to average a huge number of cycles compared to hours flown.

SkyWest has a couple of them with over 30,000 hours. I think aircraft 403SW is closing in on 35,000hrs/ high 20K cycles. Not sure how long their good for.

There are DC-9's out there with over 100,000 hours on them.

About two years ago.

I seriously doubt any Stretch Challenger will make it to 100,000 hours, because most will have 85,000+ cycles on them at that point...

Maybe not but the DC-9 was the original RJ.

CRJ was built by the Canadians which is as good as being built by the French, so they don't have much life left.

DC-9 operated by NWA -
N921RW has 104500+ on it, N923RW has 103300 + on it , n915rw, n918rw, n916 rw, n922rw all have 100,000 plus hours on them.

N915rw is stored.

There are about 9 Crj 200 with 30K+ hours on them, mostly operated by Comair and Skywest

The CRJ isn't built half as tough as any Douglas...

With the new Flap AD coming out they may all be parked by next year!

That new flap AD rumor is the best rumor EVER!
