Why I hate the 717

[NovemberEcho]

I watched one get outclimbed from departure to 4,000 by a DA40 about 30 minutes ago.

But the 717 pays better, so nyah nyah.

I have to fly the angry puppy MSP to EWR this very New Years Eve, the only good part is that we have MX in EWR, so I won’t have to be doing a post flight walk around when the ball drops.

Livin the dream, I guess…

Yea but it's harder to pee in a DA40...

I dunno, holding the bottle vs holding up the seat in the forward lav that always wants to fall down

FlightAware doesn't have any tracklog data for the ARJ21, but you have to wonder how it compares: 20,000 lb lighter but also 3,000 lb less thrust. Identical thrust to weight. Slightly higher wing loading on the ARJ21.

DA40 has a stick though. Tough decision.

Sign a property in Peachtree City and then stop paying rent. You’ll draw him out.

Who needs golden showers when you green showers with deice fluid all over your crap?

And if you’re tall you’re awkwardly leaning backward with your forehead on the ceiling too. This might be that rarest of situations where Cherokee cruiser is correct about something

Pretty sure that you curse my plane even more when trying to get out of KTEB and staying under the noise limits, a 182 probably outclimbs us!
