CRJ was OK on SYD-CBR

rescue 1, When KD operated the CRJ between SYD and CBR there was actually a notable swing by pax towards the CRJ over the Saab services. Infact, towards the end of AN, the CRJ loads were quite full between SYD-CBR. They were only introduced on the run in the last months of AN, so to say they were a failure on the route would be premature. The CRJ infact, after talking with some of the Canadian pilots who came out and flew it said they were money makers in the USA, not so with Ansett/KD as that was something to do with the ridiculous lease rates the AN executives signed.
