Guys, John59 bumped this thread. Original poster posted his question in March 2008, he's probably already done the ride.
@John59: You're in the wrong place, this is the Middle East Forum its far too hot for a plane built in Canada to be flying around these parts. Check the Lufthansa thread, or find some CRJ pilots to ask. Ask in the Canadian Forum, there's probably plenty of CRJ drivers there, I don't know of a single CRJ in the Middle East.
