From Wikipedia:
The CL-610 Challenger E was to have been a stretched version for use as a cargo aircraft by Federal Express, or alternatively, as a passenger aircraft with seating for 24 passengers.[14] Federal Express placed orders for 25 CL-610s, but these orders were canceled after the passage of air cargo deregulation in the U.S. in 1977.[15] Development was halted by Canadair in 1981 without any having been built. A few years later, a new project would develop the Canadair Regional Jet based on a stretched Challenger design.

I'm guessing with CRJ slaughter at the passenger airlines, there will be plenty of em laying around cheap. 53,250 MRTOW.
Oh, and with 47,000lb MLW, and avg. 3,500lb per hour fuel burn do the math on how long the legs on this contraption will need to be. Draw a 2hr ring around MEM and that's the minimum range fully loaded (no alternate).
Shorter routes with less payload.

The ATR 72 burn 1500lb of fuel per hour and has a bigger volume & weight capacity than a CRJ200, so financially way much cheaper.
The only way FDX will switch, it is due to the ATR reliability & maintenance issues and the fact it can not use cans or palettes ( It take a lot of peoples & time to load or unload, one box at a time...about 1hr per A/C).
