any comebacks for the 'small plane' comment?

[Rook]

I was at the gate in CLT going over the release when a pax came to the gate asking about which type of plane was taking him to MSP. When the gate agent told him it was a CRJ he responded "I hate those small planes" my reply... "Beats walking doesn't it?" Turned around and he went back to his seat. But not everyone is an A-hole I must admit.

just tell them "it's got props, real airplanes have them"

A woman boarding the RJ who is ducking in the entrance will say "it's so small."

My smartarse remark "Just like you tell your husband at night that size really doesn't matter."

One of two things will happen
1- The woman will laugh, or
2- She will be infuriated (because it is the truth) and walk back in the cabin.

Try:

"You're right--guess I'll have to leave you behind."

I always tell them, "We're not qualified to fly anything larger".

"It's not the size of the airplane that matters, It's how many times you go in and out of the airport."

Bigger than your cubicle.

I used to just agree with em'. Yup, sure is small. Oh well (shrug)

Because...well, ultimately they're right! Especially nowadays when full-sized airliners have been replaced by RJs!

During his LAST family vacation our intrepid customer might have flown on a DC9, a 737, a Fokker 100... and now he has to strap into an RJ. He's right! It feels a heck of a lot smaller!

Smaller planes for smaler airfares. People should shut the heck up and be happy with their $100 internet fare.

My other favorite besides the small paycheck, or bend over and you wont think it's small when I shove it up your @$$...

If it is a male saying it's small... I reply "That's what she said, huh?"
If it's female making a small comment... "I thought you said size didn't matter."

Generic.. It's so small... "Well, thats to acomodate for your reduced brain size".
