  • ACA CRJ, meet Bus. Bus, meet ACA CRJ.

    These photos were sent to me anonymously by a ramprat for United who was on duty at O'Hare when this happened about a week ago.

    Apparently, the aircraft was taxiing to 4L for takeoff when the bus driver failed to yield, and impacted the CRJ just behind the FO's window at nearly 30 miles per hour.

    The CRJ, which is ACA's 100th Regional Jet, and was just two weeks old at the time of the accident, is a writeoff according to my sources at ACA.

      How much does a new ACA CRJ cost, what is this tab going to run the insurance company? IT is a total w/o?

                      Depending on how many aircraft are ordered, delivery schedule, who's buying and under what financing plan, and various other options the unit cost for a CRJ200 is between 21 million and 30 million USD. The CRJ700 is significantly more expensive. So I believe that this is likely the costliest two-vehicle "traffic accident" in US history.


                      NOTE - Not that it really matters and I'm sating this for purely informative purposes but let's not forget that the bus was driven by a female [img]uhoh.gif[/img]

                        Just as an addendun to my post above, I reckon that the CRJ's engines could probably be used on the new jet, saing a few million more. It is likely that the insurance people will do their best to push those engines on the new airframe. I'm no expert, it's just common sense. Canadair engineers will tell.
