Are there any customers other than ANA?
When is the first flight?
How do the specifications compare with E-jets?

Currently delayed into last quarter of 2013:

Looks like while the MRJ is being delayed the CSeries keeps running for a december 2012 first flight, and a late 2013 EIS:

not good for Japan, the longer the delay, the more Sukhoi Superjet, Canadian bomberman, Embraer E series, and Airbug A320Neomatrix eats up sales.

Firm order
Cannot see why the TSH order was not mentioned in this forum as LOI. It is firm now:

Wingspan – MRJ 29,7 m, E-190 28,7 m.
Do ANA and potential other customers already know the final range and takeoff capabilities they are committing to?

Guess it is a little premature to be talking of first flights yet although production is scheduled for 2012 and first deliveries in 2013.

Outside fuselage width: 296 cm. Compare E-jets 301 cm.

ANA are the only confirmed customer at present. Japan Airlines are reported to be considering it but have commitments elsewhere.
