A lessor tried really hard 10 years ago to lease to us three good condition sister ship RJ85s for $60k per month. Did the math, with the maintenance overheads on the four hairdryers we reckoned that they would need to go down to $25k a month to match the econmics of a comparable twin for $80k a month (they stopped at $40k which says a lot...). I don't think the RJ economics would have improved much with all the third gen twins coming to the secondhand market, $35k / month does sound like a negotiated if a tad expensive market rate.
