But with billions on the line with the success of the project, I think the deliveries happen.
Compass flys E175s with MTOW of 89k lbs. I'm sure if the weight of the MRJ9 isn't fixable, a clause will be agreed to for the specific type, still limiting it to 76 seats. Some agreement to parking more 50 seaters or replacing old 70/76 seaters. If all else fails, convert to MRJ7s to replace old CRJ7s, fly routes commonly done by 50 seaters.

Engineers behind the Zero are all deceased now. People are what make a company, and theirs has very little experience developing transport jets.

Alberts said pilot unions should understand that the MRJ90’s weight is a function of new technology that will bring increased efficiencies to regional flying and the aircraft is “not a threat to the US pilot community.”

Completely agree with you on that point Al. Every quote in the article by that Mistubishi rep was out in left field. I pray that mainline pilots don't relax scope. Also IIRC the MRJ90 is only over the max allowable weight by about a 1,000 Lbs. no one at the company thought to make the MGTOW a 1,000 lbs lighter.....

I hope they get them but I don't think mainline wants to fly RJs, look at AA, they're dumping their E190s by 2018.
Where are all these 100+ MRJ orders going to go? They'll workout a deal where they'll trade the weight limit for the amount of seats, everybody wins.

We (pilots) do not want to dump the 190. This is a management decision. Something has to replace the flying though. The 319 is used for this flying as well. We don't retire them until the end of 2019 so I hope we see a replacement at mainline by then. I would think by now we have learned our lesson with scope.
