Red-eye CRJ Flights Have Arrived Upon Us!
Looks like one of the very first nearly trans-con redeye RJ flights is loaded onto the summer schedule... although at least it is a CRJ900.
TUS-ATL (Aug 10th, for example) Lv TUS 1115 PM arrive ATL 601AM CRJ900 operated by SkyWest. The flight number is a bit odd for an RJ connection flight DL 1977 elapsed time of 3H 45M

Comair used to have LAS-CVG leaving at 1:20 AM with a stop in Tulsa.

At least you can sleep through most of the pain.

I don't think it is as bad as CO's PHX-IAH redeye in an ERJ 
. I believe it's seasonal but what a pain in the rear that one must be

A red-eye on a CRJ900 should really be no different than a red-eye on say a 738? The pitch on the 900 in Y is pretty generous for now.

Well, yes, they had to stop for fuel but it was a scheduled "direct" flight. The way "direct" flights were supposed to be. I doubt, however, that many people were climbing on board for the 4 AM TUL-CVG segment. However, I am sure there were some people getting off in Tulsa as previously pointed out. I never stepped foot on this plane but I did see it on the tarmac at LAS a couple of times.
