types of regional jet aircraft: the Bombardier Aerospace (‘‘Bombardier’’) regional jet, which comes in
three different configurations: the 50-seat Bombardier CRJ200 Regional Jet (the ‘‘CRJ200’’), the
70-seat Bombardier CRJ700 Regional Jet (the ‘‘CRJ700’’) and the 70-90-seat Bombardier CRJ900
Regional Jet (the ‘‘CRJ900’’); and the Embraer S.A. (‘‘Embraer’’) regional jet, which we operate in
