Why would I be joking? The RJ started off as 37-50 seat jets.
Now they're capable of 80-100+

So yes, they have grown in size.

The RJ has not grown in size. Management has just branded more and more airplanes with the RJ brand so people will fly them for less money. The CRJ 700/900 and EMB 170/190's are not RJ's. Just the paycheck of those flying them are RJ Paychecks. Management would have Boeing call the 777 a RJ if they thought they could get them at ASA.
 
Wow, a current RAH pilot gives a dispassionate post saying he thinks BB screwed up, and the Q400 is a good plane and this is all you've got? You're a joke. Go back to telling yourself that the 230-plus jets you've got at COEX aren't stealing jobs that real CO pilots used to fly in 737s and DC9s. My friends furloughed from CO would disagree, strongly.

Pot, meet kettle.

From what I understand, before XJT was independent and COEX was a subsidiary of CAL and the pilots were all part of the same union operating under one MEC, the CAL pilots had the opportunity to one list the whole thing but refused. Of course this was after they relieved scope that brought the 50 seat jets.
