Bombardier Inc. has won a contract to supply 10 regional jets to Mesa Air Group. The new regional jets will be the NexGen CRJ700 aircraft. The order for these aircraft is a whopping $334 million dollars! I really hope it is worth it! They are suppose to be more economical and a brand new redesigned interior for added passenger comfort. I really hope that is true! Right now, I think the CRJ 200’s, CRJ 700’s, and CRJ 900’s are the worst for passenger comfort sitting in the back. You absolutely have no leg room, if you are a tall person forget standing straight up as you walk to your seat or you will hit your head a few times, and you feel claustrophobic as they try to cram you into your seat with all the other people. If you have a couple hour flight on one of those, I would go crazy being stuck in one of those seats. Am I the only person that feels that way as a passenger sitting in one those? Hopefully, the NexGen CRJ700 will be better for passengers!

I have flown in the Candian RJ,s many times. I prefer them on shorter hops. Seats are larger jet doesn’t waste much time on the tarmack. Grab your luggage and go. Nav. equipment must be great we landed in the worst weather the East and Mid West had to offer. 0 visibility those quick little jets have made air travel more enjoyalbe. Thanks Bombardier for a quality and safe aircraft.
