The future RJ?

[ex j-41]

Great a bigger RJ that will hold more overweight, older and ____ f/a's.
Nothing like spending 200 days a year on the road with people you would never otherwise spend time with. This industry sucks.

over 70 seats...over 80000 lbs. Over my dead body is that flown at some POS regional. F uck that!

Good luck with those geared fans.

100 seats equals 2 flight attendants, just like the 700/900. I agree on the older overweight issues. That's HR's doings..

Are you going to lay in front of the nosewheel while the young spikey haired captain taxi's out? Please don't, that would require a RIF and a much delayed flight.

Since the Delta pilots turned their noses up at the Canadair back in the early-mid 90's by giving up scope?

I agree 100% that giving in on any scope is bad but with that said, comparing a crj -100 to this ac is too much of a stretch. We are mostly military at Delta and trust me even the fighter pilots won't put a crj-100 and this ac in the same light. These two ac are in two totally different classes.

That was a pretty cool airplane the first time it came out as an Embraer 170, I wonder if anyone else is working on a fake 170?

Sweet ideas, amazing what people think of when it has already be thought of.

It was this arbitrary "2 classes" mistake that got us to this point....An airplane is an airplane...Only EGO's divide airplanes into these "2 classes"...

Here are two Delta mainline airplanes from the past...Which class do they belong to Monster Buck?

I don't care what the engineers, builders or test data says, composite material does NOT belong in a commercial airliner. Take the 1965-1985 era of manufacturing and engineering as example and compare the following years as plastics and composites began to replace the stout and durable craftsmanship who's longevity far outlasts its current replacements. Think of your lawn mowers, vehicles, power tools etc and compare the amount of composites and plastics that have replaced the manufacturing process. Plastic is for weekend warriors not the professional operator. It will take years of trouble free and reliable service to convince me that cheap lightweight composite material will outlast the durability of aluminum.

Heavy metal is also heavy and uneconomic. Welcome to post golden-age fuel hysteria.

Oil at 25-40bbl would mean DC-9 DC-10 type airplanes would return. Until then expect light, cheap and fragile "green machines." Aint life grand?
