CRJ 200 - the Nickelback of the skies

[SkyDogSilver]

Kinda see their point. Folks like to hate them, but plenty of someones out there keep buyin' and flyin' them...

But blaming Canada for Justin Bieber? Now that just uncalled for. Those Americans were the ones who really made him famous. It's on them.

I was on a 717 and heard someone complaining that the plane is so small

"We'll follow the SouthernJets RJ" -smoke comes out of the flight deck-

8.) The overhead bins can’t hold anything more than a laptop bag

Tell that to every captain with a 26" luggageworks. Not to mention some of the stuff flight attendants jam in there!

Well, it is shorter than a 900.

Plus, this. Deadhead in the back of a 717.

I can't disagree with anything written in the article. It is a pig, but I am glad I got to experience it.

It's made me a better pilot, if for no other reason than my appreciation for right-properly-airliner-like airplanes has grown.

I come from the land of metroliners, jetstreams, chieftains and Banderantes. Ya'll can kiss my shiny black ass as the CRJ is far superior to what the commuter, whoops, regional model used to be!

You're an SJI Captain now, you can call us "commuters."

It used to be the "whisper jet". When I was at Comair academy in 1993, a couple of recent grads flew the first one into Sanford. The crew were in full "Top Gun-lick my super sized sack" mode. It was beyond embarrassing watching all of the students rubbing one out in the cabin.

Then it was back to reality. Make $10/hr, none for ground, bend over for $13k PFT, start at $17k in a metroliner, Saab, or Brasilia.

The SJS was strong back then.

We do need, on occasion, to remind ourselves that this is actually cool.

A lot of responsibility, and serious work, and a job, to be sure, but it is still pretty cool.

(this is in no way forgiving or encouraging SJS)

I'm surprised the thrust reverser's wasn't mentioned.

Your avatar, airplane, but who?

I've read all the comments about the reverses being useless etc, but that has not been my experience. They're pretty effective in stopping in my experience.

No substitute for proper technique. *grumbles*

Both quoted for scripture.

Crawl from the back of a Metro 2 and you can complain.
