Crj-1000

[SpauldingSmails]

I'm not sure, but I'd imagine a bean bag chair, 8 feet across has to be pushing 12,500 lbs.

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'

I got another one that is long and wide.

Haha, I was waiting for that one. You don't compare it to the concorde though, do you?

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

Narrow, pointy and fast?

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.

Well, the most efficient airframe would likely be a flying wing, but the consensus is passengers aren't willing to give up windows to save money. The CRJ is the most uncomfortable airplane I've ever ridden in the back of (and that list includes the 1900, Brasilia, Navajo, Islander, etc). You can't even look out the window unless you're five.

They fixed the window issue on the 900 so I would imagine the 1000 is the same.

Sweet. Now if they can just change the seating to 2+1 like the little ERJs, they'll be fine.

Well, my good friend who works for the FAA said that I CAN log PIC on the LoveSac even though I'm not the captain! So, you're all wrong cuz my friend said so!

The 700/900 is like completely different airplane in the back. The 200 does suck, but I don't think the 700/900 is uncomfortable at all. Much better than sitting in the middle seat on a 737!

True, but it does call into question how that time logged would look in an interview if it were all "cowgirl" time.

Skywest FOs are agonizing over where to put their new CRJ1000 posters.

And GoJet pilots are asking themselves "Who do I have to screw over to get to fly that thing?"

Maybe Hulas will have to start yet another alter ego airline.

 

[V1cutsrfun]

UHHHH, Yes it is. That's why it's called the CRJ-1000. Plus, Bombardier only makes RJs. They don't make mainline jets.

Ummmm... Take a look at the performance section of the 700.... the west coast from MSP... that's not a regional....

My mamma always says, "Regional is as regional does"... I do believe that airplane is only flown by regional airlines.

A king air can fly from MSP to SEA, does that mean it's a mainline plane too?

 

[PeanuckleCRJ]

A king air doesnt weigh 70,000 pounds and carry 70 people... unfortunately the king air pilots robably make more than the CRJ haha.
