My local airport pretty much exclusively operates commercial flights on CRJs. If they were decertified tomorrow we would go to having no commercial flights at all.
That said, the CRJs are reaching end of life and are expected to be replaced by Embraer (Brazilian made) alternatives in the near future. So airlines are actually already planning to ditch the CRJs. Realistically though they dont actually have those jets yet, so if they are no longer able to use CRJs until the switchover then they will lose a massive amount of money. Not to mention the amount of money many areas will lose by having no commercial flights
Itll certainly clear up the schedule for more private jet access at regional airports though, like Aspen and Telluride. Im sure his rich friends would be ecstatic about that

They will all throw those Bombardiers away and buy a bunch of Boeings, for sure.
/s, but I feel it’s rather unnecessary.
