Any aircraft with a cabin width of under 12 feet qualifies as a regional jet in my opinion...... However, as my opinion really doesn't matter... Your RJ explanations sir...... As per the Regional Airline Association the following aircraft are defined by them as regional jets: New Generation Regional Jets 100-seat regional jets (80 to 119 seats) Mid-size regional jets (50 to 79 seats) Small regional jets (less than 50 seats) Older Generation Regional Jets 100-seat or less narrow-body aircraft New Generation Regional Jets Include: Airbus A318 Boeing 717-100 Bombardier CRJ 200/CRJ 700/CRJ 900 British Aerospace RJ 85 Embraer ERJ 135 ERJ 140/ ERJ 145 ERJ 170 ERJ 190-100 ERJ 190-200 Fairchild 328JET 728JET Older Generation Regional Jets Include: Boeing B727-100/ B737-100/ B737-200 British Aerospace Bae 146-100/ Bae 146-300 / BAC-111 Fokker F28 McDonnell Douglas DC-9-10/ DC-9-30/ DC-9-40 I trust this will muddy the waters sufficiently?????
