Who will fly the new Sukhoi RJ ?
Sukhoi has registered another success this month. On 02-Sep-2010, California-based Willis Lease Finance signed an MoU valued at USD300 million to acquire six Sukhoi Superjet (SSJ 100) regional jets and options for four more.
The company earns more than 50% of its annual revenue in North America and Europe. Another 19% comes from Asia, while South America accounts for 16% and the Middle East and Africa is responsible for just 7%.
Regional jet aircraft will get larger. Most new regional jet programmes are focusing on aircraft in the 70 to 120-seat range, moving very close to territory occupied by the A318 and the B737-600.
Bombardier is already bridging this gap, with its 100-130 seat CSeries. It is also flight testing the 100-seat CRJ-1000. Embraer is looking at a stretched version of its Ejets family. Mitsubishi’s new MRJ family will stretch up to 96 seats, with a larger version potentially in the works.
Sukhoi’s Superjet fits neatly into this market evolution. The manufacturer has sold 256 of its 85-100 seat SSJ 100-95 version, and is yet to register a single sale for the smaller (65-80) seat SSJ 100-75

These aren't "regional jets", they are parked B737 replacements and would/should be flown by mainline pilots.
