Yep there's no problem with it as the a/c is only a stretched challenger - the approach is only steep to 7nm then flattens out to standard 3 degrees with a jink around the rock, not much of an issue tbh..
and as for the change in a/c - as said before my understanding is the F100 was never in contention due to performance, Atlantics airbus was a good offer but the timing I don't think worked, the E170's I know they would desperately love but again my understanding is that Skywork moved the goal posts, so I think they've taken the CRJ 200's out of desperation more than choice - there really isn't that many 70-100 ACMI aircraft around for Europe that I can see
