Actually my question was why order the CRJ900 when it was known by then that the comparable Sukhoi was coming to their LCY fleet. It's not as if Finland (home base of Blue1) is somehow against Russian products when they are one of its principal trading partners. It was of course apparent that the CRJ was never capable of handling Cityjet's principal network point at LCY, but now they will need two new types on their AOC, two new sets of procedures, crews who cannot be exchanged, etc, all coming on stream at the same time. It may be that the SAS deal is so lucrative that it covers all this, but that does seem unlikely, doesn't it ?
