145 vs 200

[Indy319FA]

Whichever one pays you the most.....

Can't speak to flying them, but having worked in the back of the EMB 170, 190, 135, 140, 145, and having ridden on the 700/900...

145 windows are nicer for pax because you don't have to break your neck to look out. Seats are about the same, although the 145 single seats are a pain because of less space for carryons, and the lack of overheads on the left side is a pain as well. CRJ 200 galley beats the EMB big time. More room up there and you don't have to stand half way in the cockpit when pax are deplaning.

The 170 series beats them all. Plenty of room in overheads, pressurized toilets, nice size seats, and lots of work space in the galleys....

I'd say that since the xrj's are rarely if ever weight limited, and they can carry 2 jumpseaters (FA JS) I prefer the 145.

I think the LR's can carry just as much weight now...The landing structural weights are higher on the XR, but then again the XR weighs about 1,000lbs more than the LR empty.

If you're a JSer, you're more likely to get on an ERJ especially with 2 JSs.

Depends, in Denver IIRC when it gets hot you become climb restricted for MATOW. I believe the XR's is higher than the LR's as far as payload.

As did I, you could hear those P&W's clear across the airfield.

The mighty Dojet! Man how I miss those days in CVG! Probably the the most fun I've had in this business was working with the ACA Dojet crews in CVG.....

Thats right, ESPECIALLY the original ACJet crews.

145..Line bidding and better work rules

200..PBS!!

I thought the CRJ was better suited for short runways. Is that right?

Takeoff or landing?

For takeoff, it may depend on the vendor used for the performance data.

Dash 8 is better than both, ha... ;-P

I hate how the ERJ cabin wall bends under the seat and does not let me sit with my knees straight. Drives me insane, I need to sit with both feet on the floor for an old injury and no Bueno on taco rocket.

CRJ is the same way.

I dislike how the CRJ cabin air enters along the base of the sidewalls. I avoid sitting in the window seat because when I do my feet, especially the one nearest the wall, gets so cold that it hurts.

They still use those in Europe, why not here any more?

 

[thepotato232]

Same reason for forty year-old Diesel 9's over here - companies bought them years ago, and they're paid for. BAE just happens to be the local flavor over in Europe.

Fuel burns of about 5000 pph flying at mach .72 only carrying 69 people. Oh and then there is the extra maintenance cost involved because of the extra engines. NWA got the Avros because at the time it was the only "RJ" they could get. The CRJ and ERJ were both heavily backlogged back then.

 

[jws717]

The Avro now that's a great rj cabin! They still do well in the Alps and small strips like London city airport. On short legs they do ok. I think some models had almost 90 seats.

 

[jws717]

I think lycoming built the engines for the Avro, how cool is that!
