CRJ1000 = Cha+plug+plug+plug+llen+plug+plug+ger.

:laugh::laugh: I'm still laughing...that's brilliant!

I am sure you are right, they probably designed the thing without really looking at the size of the seats first, and had planned on going with a 3+2 configuration, then after they had the whole thing made and started putting the seats in they realized that 3+2 would not work so they just said the heck with it and put really wide 2+2 seats.

Actually that is NOT the case.

The E-jets were designed from the start as comfortable 2+2 aircraft. There is no comparison to the CRJ series, infact those comparisons are a sore spot for Embraer.

The operating economic favor the E-Series over the CRJ if you give passengers the same seating pitch.


It's only when the pax are "sardinecanned-in" that the CRJ per seatmile cost is below the E-series.

And yes Bill Lear even before the grave tried to stop the 601. At least the CRJ1000 is visually more in line with all of Bill Lear's other designs...

Bill Lear hated any plane you could stand up in He just wanted go fast and climb like hell. His designs were like toothpicks with horizontal stabilizers for wings.

Lears are amazing airplanes for speed and efficiency, comfortable? Not so much. I still remember the jokes about Lear drivers, like how you could tell which one was the CA/FO by what directions their necks were permanently bent. The 601 was probably like the antichrist for him.

Guy was in the wrong business-shoulda been building rockets.

Bombardier should be embarrassed of the 1000. It's like building a 400 seat airplane based on the DC-9.

Except for that small simple fact that it is by far the most economical 100-seater. Think passengers prefer the EMB-195? They may, but they aren't willing to pay more for it. It's all about $$$, and the CRJ-1000 makes them.

Great post and right on the money..(sorry could not resist)

I "prefer" to ride in a limo on my commute ....but I wont pay for it.

I don't get the CRJ bigotry.

The diameter of the fuselage is roughly that of the Concord.

And 1/3rd the speed and none of the boner factor, tell a chick you fly the Concord, and she peels her clothes off, tell her you fly an RJ and she throws up a little in her mouth.

I can understand you're having that affect on women.

Nevertheless, the subject has never been about speed. The dismissal of the CRJ as inferior on this board has, thus far, been all about cabin dimensions, no?

The Concord seated passengers 2 by 2 in a tube with almost the same cross section.

Now thats funny!

 

[Metro752]

My favorite is guys fresh out of a Piper Seminole saying the CRJ sucks.

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

Are you guys really comparing the CRJ to the Concorde?

Absolutely classic....

Do you go out to the bar and tells girls you are a jet pilot?

 

[Lynxman]

Well duh how else do you get girls to sleep with you let alone a woman?

They're comparing the diameter of the CRJ fuselage with the diameter of the Concorde fuselage. Try to keep up.

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

They are justifying the diameter of the CRJ fusalage (comfort level) by saying its about the same as the Concorde. The concorde would cross the Atlantic in just a few hours (compared to 7+) and was a very presigious airplane to travel on.


Trust me, I'm still in step....just aghast at the comparison.

 

[bvt1151]

The cockpit of the space shuttle is about the size of a Pinto. Are you aghast at that comparison too? Doesn't make it any less true.

If you're lurking for a reason to bad mouth RJ drivers on other boards, perhaps you should spend more time understanding the facts rather than blowing everything out of proportion.

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

I flew the CRJ... why would I be lurking for information?

 

[SpauldingSmails]

Alright... here's the "world o'cross-sections" of things about 8 feet in diameter comparison list...

CRJ-200 8'5"
Concorde 8'8"
Dash 8 8'3"
GM Corbeil "Short Bus" 8'
Standard rail boxcar 8'10"
NASA Delta 1000 Rocket 8'
Elgin Road Wizard Sweeper 8'
LoveSac "BigOne" bag chair 8'

LoveSac "BigOne" bag chair 8'

Does that require a type rating?
