Skywest Questions

The CRJ1000 is a different type rating, CL66. It is listed on the master FAA type rating list but I have no idea where you would get a type rating on one of those in the US.

There is still a delivery backlog of 35+ CRJ900s, so the assembly line is still open and a sale would help milk some extra cash out of their assembly line.

And believe it or not, the Q400 assembly line is still open and Bombardier just sold 60 more of those at the Paris Air Show last month. (One carrier bought 50 and will configure the plane to hold 86 passengers, ).

So, the CR7 line is shuttered then?

So I just double checked. It looks like there are 29 CRJ900s left to be delivered as of 31 March, 2017, and 9 CRJ700s. I'm not sure how many have been delivered in the past three months. The last CRJ700 order was placed over 3 years ago, where as CRJ900 orders have been placed as recently as a couple months ago.

People pretend the CRJ is dead, yet AA ordered some a little over a year ago.

200 is a lemon. 700 is the sports car. 900 is the Cadillac. This is comparing them to each other. By no means a comparison to any other plane.

700/900 used to be the ish... in comparison to the CRJ200 and the EMB145. It had slats, and FADEC. Then along came the 175, and now most people thumb their nose up at it. Just sayin'.

Thing is, I liked flying the 7/9 better than the 175.....the 200, well.

Most the people I know that hate the CRJ have 0 hours of turbine time.

"No auto throttles?! What?!"

I like 700/900 trips better though. I don't have another jet to compare it to so...:p

The 175 trips are even better at my base, for now. I just found the 700 in particular to be very well balanced, easy to trim out, plenty of power and a wing that is effortless at cruise, the 7/9 loves .77+.

I think they are decent airplanes, just not great for long rides in the back. I get why people hate them, throw me in 20D from XNA to SFO I'd wish for all sort of ill on you and yours. Jet was never meant for that.

Except now, especially with the new Epic load, the autothrottles on the 175 are horrible for almost anything other than making sure you're not a hair outside of the TOGA detent.

You like them better because the ARE better.
 
It was a good 1500 hours. You'll rarely hear me smack talk any airplane they tossed me to the keys to. Except the P-68, eff that noise.

500+ hours in the P-68... theme are fightin' words.

Quirky... but I miss that airplane.

I suppose if I flew it more than the one time, and that it wasn't such a piece of crap I may have developed Stockholm syndrome.

I got a phone call from the FAA months later asking if I had ever worked on it, to which I answered "no I only flew it the one time and it was such a piece we came back and landed and gave it back to the owners."

That was the end of the phone call.
