I like these planes. They're a bit smaller than the 737, and more economical. Still much more comfortable and efficient than the "regional jets" offered by Canadair and Embraer. Why did they discontinue them?

The CRJ's and ERJ's are much more efficient to operate than the 717 or Airbus' A318.

Because it impacted on sales of the 737?

Why did they discontinue them? Ah, because Boeing could not sell any of them!

Because the airline industry is totally lacking in visonary leaders like Robert Crandall and Gordon Bethune who would see the value in ordering a fleet of 300 of these things and kicking the snot out of the Embraer flying competition.
