American Retires CRJ-200


In a release back a while ago, they announced the retirement of 19 CRJs, now the whole fleet is officially in the desert with their new plan for expansion. Reported by the tweet linked below, it was retired in Tucson.

Oof
Well they won’t be flying those on SAN-LAX anymore lol

I completely agree! I HATE the CRJ200! (Yes, I do know hate is a strong word…and that’s why I used it) The CRJ200 is horrible. Also very glad Delta is doing the same by the end of the year.

Glad to see them go, it was always an uncomfortable ride on those.

Yeah true I guess

Exactly “permanently”
Lol
So they’ll be back in August? 😂
Probably just quietly restart the route

For everyone celebrating I’d temper my excitement. This probably means a lot of low demand routes have permanently gotten the axe, and probably even some destinations that no longer have commercial air service. For those people this aircraft was, while not comfortable, a great connection to the world. While they still have E-140s, E-145s (maybe some E-135s too???), and E170s to fill some of that gap losing at the bottom end almost always means cities lost.

Well that’s sad. The -200 was my favorite CRJ, shame it’s being retired.

It’s pouring salt in the wound to know that there wasn’t any notice whatsoever about this retirement.

I’ll miss seeing ya at KCLT, CRJ-200.
