Comair's first CRJ-900, No Connection?

[SPDBRD747400]

First pic's of the first Comair CR9 but it doesn't seem to have the "Connection" like the CR2's have. Anyway here are some pic's of it:

After they disolve Comair, Main Line pilots will be flying them.

Apparantly when they were painting the airplane the painters discovered the new "CONNECTION" font would not fit properly (i.e. legally) across the service door, on the right side of the aircraft, without changing the font size or moving it in relation with "DELTA". I guess Delta decided it was better to leave it off entirely than to change the DCI corporate logo. "CONNECTION" appears on the left side of the aircraft.

How many CR9s for Comair?

How many CR9s will Comair get through the end of the year and total? Anyone know how the performance differs from a standard 200 or even the 700?

Never flown one...but probably somewhere in between the two.

 

[bailout]

the 200 is underpowered, the 700 is a rocketship, and the 900 is a pig.

I have a buddy at Skyw who said the 900's run good. It is new and only has 70 to 76 seats.

DrewBlows is correct regarding the inability to place the word "connection" on the right side vs. the placement of the service door. It still has it on the left side as he notes.

As far as performance, with the EPP "Enhanced Performance Package", the performance is very similar to the "700". Remember that they have the first class section, so they will only seat 76 pax vs 84 of the all economy class "900", ie, thrust to wt ratio is similar...

Yeah I feel like I'm bent in the middle when I get off the 145.

CRJ200-Pig. CRJ700-Rocket CRJ900-More of a Rocket. 900 outperforms the 700 by a hair, but still noticable.
