OK, here in a short, relatively painless message are the answers....
1) Air Wisconsin took several of the ex-Midway CRJs as did Jazz,
Skywest and Mesa. The new Midway has received 2 of their old
aircraft back and have repainted them in US Airways CS.
2) CL65 - Used by IACO as their code for all Canadair Regional Jets
and the term CRJ is used by IATA.
IACO IATA
Canadair Challenger all series CL60 CLJ
Canadair Regional Jet all series CL65 CRJ
Canadair Regional Jet 100/200 CL61 CR1
Canadair Regional Jet 700 CL67 CR7
Canadair Regional Jet 900 CL69 CR9
3) CRJ100ER - Original Design Aircraft
CRJ100LR - Longer Range / Better Hot / High Performance
CRJ200ER - Updated RJ100ER - Uprated Engines and Performance
CRJ200LR - Updated RJ100LR - Uprated Engines and Performance
CRJ440 - Specific RJ sub-type originally built for Northwest Airlines
Requirement - 44 Seat Aircraft instead of 50 seat. Can be
converted to RJ100ER status, but requires additional
payment to Bombardier. (Union thing at airline)
CRJ700 - 68/70 Seat CRJ
CRJ900 - 86/90 Seat CRJ
Any further questions?
