Air Canada is reviewing the 4 kinds of 100-seat jets, CRJ900, ERJ195 (both under 100seats), B717 & A318.

Montreal-based Bombardier Inc. may have an edge since it is the only Canadian companyand has already supplied Air Canada with 26 of its 50-seat regional jets.

It's so strange for Air Canada, which is going towards full Airbus mainline jet fleet, is considering a 100-seat jet from Airbus' competitor, Boeing!
