Are those engines significantly different than the C Series. Both are GTF?

I think very similar, both GTF from Pratt.
Not just a flameout either

Geared engines have never been very successful in the aviation world, looks great on paper.

Just curious, do you read any of the news about Delta bringing RJ flying back in house? Do you know why we acquired the 717s? SWA virtually paid us to fly them.

Regionals are headed towards life support in terms of longevity. Brilliant statement that the CRJ900 is cheaper to operate than a 717. Let's see the numbers, show your work. Is it because the crj900 pilot gets peanuts? Crew costs aren't a viable argument. I look forward to seeing your cost analysist.

Engine failures happen daily world wide. On all different types. You might read up on the 787 RR engine issues.

Not only that, but the CRJ900 should obviously be "cheaper to operate" than a 717 because they seat way less...76 vs 110. A C-152 would be even cheaper.
