ACA & MESA court day 2

[727RedTails]

Intruder One,
I just flew the CRJ for 7 hours today, its slow! I have never seen it at .80, but maybe thats because it can't get to 330 or above with any kind of load. I flew the 727 and we would cruise at .83 and above, all those airplanes were built 20-30 years ago. The DoJets are all built no more than 5 years ago. Anyway, if your a professional pilot you get paid by the hour so the slower the better!

Argh the 727 - now THATS a machine Loved it. It's up there with the Diesel 8

Hijacked thread BTW.

Speed smeeed. I get paid by the hour and the only time I really feel the speed is close to the ground. And the Dojet is never close to the ground for very long. I think you probably noticed that on your js experience.

So .77 is slow FOR cruise? Sounds like you should just be happy you got a job any way.

Darn,
I scrolled all the way down this thread to see if any fellow blue ridgers went to the second day of the court hearing and would post anything gleened from the self induced headache that doing so would incurr.

All I got was a "mine's bigger than yours" thread. :-(

Cute gate agent: "You have a nice one, sir."
Me: "Thanks, it's a big one as well, see ya next time."

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.......

this is stupid

I love how this post starts out about something interesting and turns out to be a pissing contest. Who cares about a stupid CRJ FRJ or a 737. You are not the only ones who fly them. Grow up

Easy there chief, this is an open forum and people can say what they want. Chill out. Someone stated a fact that wasn't true, and was called on it. Have a better day.

Bye Bye--General Lee

I'm sorry General, but I took-off this afternoon from BTR in a CRJ-700 three minutes ahead of a B-737-200. The DAL pilot made some crack about having to follow us to ATL (we both laughed to ourselves at the stupid prick, why do these DAL pilots always feel the need to say something stupid on the radio.......wind check).

We climbed out at 300 KIAS to FL290, then cruised at 315 KIAS (M.79) most of the way to ATL (eventually they slowed us to 250 KAIS). The last I saw of the DALPA B-737 on TCAS, he was more than 50 miles behind us. We never heard him on the radio. I guess following us wasn't so bad after all?

Hey sleepy,
Who do you think has the last laugh when the day is done and the Delta pilot gets their paycheck and you get yours? Just stating the obvious.

 

[General Lee]

Yeah Sleepy, your CRJ700 might have a nicer cockpit and cruise faster, but the 737 FO's car is a lot nicer and goes faster....Which would you rather have??

Look, I said the CRJ700 is a big improvement over the CRJ50---and you and I know that. The 737 is faster in the climb than the CRJ50 and can cruise at .77, which isn't bad. I DO LIKE YOUR CR7's, THOUGH. And, there have been times I have wondered whether or not some of your guys should have asked for a wind check. Watching some of your ATRs land while waiting to takeoff on 27R is fun......

Bye Bye--General Lee

Nice and pathetic! You guys hiring so I can afford that nice and fast car - didn't think so, I'll have to milk a couple more years out of mine.

 

[General Lee]

Hey, Sleepy was making fun of Delta pilots, and the Redtails guy who was furloughed pointed that out to him also. Tit for tat.

Bye Bye--General Lee
