Wow and I heard that the Crj was the second most expensive aircraft to run in the Ansett fleet according to the administrators ( and as accountants they would have an unbiased opinion) , and that would be why Bombardier have thirty + of them in the desert while Embraer sell everything on the production line. Bombardier are reacting to this by making 1300 workers redundant in Ireland (as you would). Lets send that category D machine to Albury that makes sense and should make us heaps of money. Lets face it the Embraer for Virgin will be used to enchance routes that a 737 should never have been on like Sydney-Mackay and Adelaide-Hobart not take over fully fledged 737 routes as Ansett tried to do. Lets hope they have a better result than Rod.......
