What killed the 146?
Folks,
I always liked the RJ/146. Anytime I flew on one, it always seemed to be smooth, powerful, and comfortable.
What were the main reasons for it not succeeding against the newer competition? With the RJX, we seemed to have a very capable new airliner. Was it more expensive than the opposition? More complex? I'm assuming that there was a penalty cost with four engines, but would that have been a key factor?
Curious, and sad to see the 'Whisperjet' go...
