F9 makes you wonder why Delta is not to happy with the E-170s..Wait to you pay the fuel bill for several months vs what you were paying on the CRJ-700. Makes you wonder why Delta is not wanting to hang on to those E-170s? Delta is not happy with Republic or Mesa.....You get what you pay for !!

and as a gayjet pilot you know so much. how hulas treating you these days.

I love these quotes from the CR-7 pilots......my worst experiences at my job, by far, is when i have to deadhead on a CR-7.

its amazing to me that people have to pay money to sit in the back of one of those things, that is the most uncomfortable ride in the air, i would rather sit on a saab 340 and not have to manipulate my entire body to just look out the window.

the CR-7 is so uncomfortable and inconvienant, the only reason they keep them around is because of how cheap they are. For routes the company cares about and wants to keep business passengers on, its always a 170 or mainline. let the leisure pax who fly once a year sit on the CR-7.

The windows are in the normal position on the CRJ-700. The glorified bizjet (CR2) is the one with the low windows.

The 170 is a great airplane...but its just that guys, an airplane. Is the 170 nicer than the CR7 from a passenger perspective? Sure - but economics dictate the 'best airplane' for a given route and for an airline.

Let's leave the drooling (and worse) to Airliners.net, shall we?

As far a Delta not being happy with the 170 I think that issue has been solved. We have been able to get the fuel burns down under what the boys and Brazil thought the 10 would average. The number I have heard is in the range of 3-4% of the 700. And since the 170 is actaully 70 seat not 64 seat airplane I would think the per seat mile cost is in the same range. But what do I know I'm just a pilot, not an accountant. And lets face it the numbers guys will make it look how ever they want. Someone said it right though its a plane, it goes up and down just like the rest of them.
