CRJ vs. ERJ

[English]

Falcon Captain,

Somebody actually HIRED that guy after the infamous JETWAY INCIDENT???

I dont even fly for the airlines anymore and I STILL hear people talk about it!

FINALLY someone brought it up!!!!!

 

[Pedro]

FINALLY someone brought it up!!!!!

What was the incident?

 

[Pedro]

What do you mean?

Nothing really, that I wish you guys get paid better for flying 70 seaters...

 

[English]

What was the incident?

Something having to do with a flight attendant, a skirt, sexual harassment charges, being fired from Chautauqua, and a jetbridge...not sure of the specifics

Even though he flies a WSofD, ya gotta admit he's a legend now.

 

[Pedro]

I bet that was funny to see!!

 

[oldskoolbronco2]

The CRJ cockpit is bigger then the ERJ's by far! Also the CRJ doesn't have the weight problems that the ERJ does.

 

[LegacyIIDriver]

Oh brother, WSofD Driver is back under a whole new name!

I guess he got tired of his other screennames...

Skull-One (yes, the infamous "Wrongfully Terminated RJ Captain" returns for a fourth time!)
LegacyDriver
vraciu

When will the fun ever end???

Correction: Mr. Resigned-For-A-Better-Job-and-Got-$50,000-Backpay-For-His-Trouble. Arbitration is a great thing especially when the company gets b*tch slapped for violating the rules!

Worked out to a nice downpayment on my new house and I got a better job to boot.

I CAN ALWAYS tell when you are losing an argument Falcon...you try to smear the person who is beating your tail off. I'll take that as a sign of victory.

As for the other non-points you tried to make:

If you quit shutting off my accounts I will quit adding new usernames.... This is #9 (though I would like to try and keep it for once so at least you know who I am). The others you will never discover.

In actuality the newest Legacy is the Legacy IV if it had to have a number....

And it's still more reliable than anything you will ever fly, Falcon.

A legend that, like most, is pure myth.

None of that happened and that was never alleged by the company in the first place. Just more Chautauqua B.S. rumors. Funny how the gal who started that story resigned for stealing Capt. D.C.'s car out of the employee lot! Oh well. A lot of short term misery, but the 11 months backpay made it worth it in the end... The rumors will probably never go away, but I don't care. I'm better off without CHQ, that's for sure.

I bet that was funny to see!!

The only place anyone saw any such thing was in their imagination.

Now everybody go play in the sandbox and be nice to the other children.

When you have a clean record it's easy to get hired. See, people don't listen to RUMORS, they deal in FACTS. The fact is the "incident" (take your pick) was all a rumor in the first place. But people enjoy a good story over the truth so let 'em talk. It used to really bother me, having my name run through the mud for no good cause, but I just laugh about it now. I was hoping to become famous for inventing Warp Drive or something, but.....

I am amazed people are actually stupid enough to believe that crap. Rumors...rumors...rumors...and everyone heard it firsthand, to boot! Heh! Let it go already. It was all a myth. Urban legend. Untrue. Seriously. It gets stale.

 

[Traumahawk]

I'll take my 170 any day!

I work at your company and that name you have is a disgrace to everyone here. I hope it's a sarcastic joke.

 

[LXApilot]

Hey GuppyKiller - is that you I saw the other day in your captain bob suit on the ramp at SFB jumping for joy over his hire letter from CHQ and boasting to all of your Comair Academy friends that you had finally made it to the 'BIG TIME'? That avatar and screen name are a disgrace to yourself and your pilot group. Ever seen an avatar of a UA pilot with a Stinger taking down a EMB170 on liftoff? Of course not, because its tasteless. However my friend, you have just proven that you have no character, no taste, and most of all- NO $&@!(^# RESPECT OR PERSPECTIVE. Now get the He!l out of this industry and give me that seat you are in on that thing, the quicker people like you are gone, the quicker the respect, integrity, and character of this profession can return.

I vote for WSCoD

Yes it was determined in another thread via a majority concensus, that S-Can is in fact one word, so the proper abbreviated for the Legacy (and the fabled Legacy II) is WSofD

FalconCapt, while I agree with the determination that S--tcan is one word, and therefore WSoD would technically be the correct abbreviation, I have to disagree with the majority consensus that it is necessarily the best. Something might pass muster with an English teacher, but in my view it can be "close enough" grammatically (within limits of course) if it has a ring to it, and looks good.

So I prefer WSCoD, because while it admittedly doesn't adhere completely to accepted grammatical structure and rules, it nevertheless sounds better when you say it. It separates the soft "wisss" (WS) sound from the soft "aaahd" (od) sound with a hard "C", kind of like the "P" when we say GPWS ("Jipwiss"). It also forms the word "cod" in sound and in spelling, and for some reason I think that fits. Think about it....

ATC: "Falcon XXXX, stop your climb at FL 350, and reduce to .73 mach or less"

FalconCapt: "XXXX Center, WTFO????"

ATC: "Sorry guys, slower traffic above you, same direction, doing their best impression of a high altitude road block".

FalconCapt: "Aw...don't tell me..."

ATC: "Yeah (sigh)....it's a WSCoD"

FalconCapt: " a &%*^% WSCOD! I knew it! Can't you have it shot down or something?

ATC: "In my dreams Falcon, but they don't let me live out my fantasies when I work. Can you give me .83 or better?

FalconCapt: "Sure"

ATC: "Okay, increase to .83 or better. As soon as you're clear I'll climb you up in front of that mother......ing WSCoD close enough to show him what a real airplane looks like."

FalconCapt: "Okay, we only smelled him before, but now we have the WSCoD traffic in sight at 20 miles...make that 12 mile...7 mi....no wait, 4 miles.....whoa!,..Center, I've never seen the a$$-end of an airplane tail come at me so fast!"

ATC: "Heh heh, yeah, I heard we made them paint stripes on 'em so you other guys wouldn't mistake 'em for clouds. Falcon XXXX, I know this is an understatement, but WSCoD traffic no factor. Climb now to FL 450"

FalconCapt: "Climbing to FL450, Falcon XXXX.....$**&^ing WSCoD"

ATC: "You said it, man....*$(&#@ WSCoD"...

Now, see how good that sounds?

dragonbravo - so what your saying is that the 200 was streached and had its wings lowered to become a 700. i fly both their is more than that thats different. i guess the 717 is also a streach crj with a different fuselage and engines, and they are both shortened md 90s. the reason the nose sits lower is so it does not need emergency slides. your right it does go faster due to bigger engines. i bet it would go further if it had bigger fuel tanks

Actually, the reason the nose sit's lower is not because of slides, because it uses the same main cabin door as the 200. Cheaper to redesign the nose gear than to certify a new main cabin door. 25 million plus price tag for a new door.

Bombardier engineer told me that in YUL.

Was GuppyKiller the guy with the sticker on his flightbag in ORD? I'm sure someone will pry the locks on that case and punch a grumpy on his charts. If he's a DCA student freshly hired, that makes it even more ridiculous.

I want to hear the story about Skull-One. The way I'm hearing it the meal came with two sausage links...

 

[LegacyIIDriver]

Give it a rest already, sheesh. I can't decide what baffles me more, the bloodlust to see someone smeared or that people actually believe this stuff... *sigh* Time to switch professions.

Oh well... Have all the fun at my expense you want. I give up...

The Guppy Killer thing was a rumor, too, BTW. Can't believe you guys fell for that one either. A U pilot saw an E-170 sticker on some CHQ pilot's bag and said, "That's a Guppy Killer Sticker." Thus the legend began. Pilots are notorious for spreading rumors that have no basis in fact.

*Throws hands in the air and wanders off in search of non-aviation employment classified ads.*

 

[FlyChicaga]

I don't know who you are, and could care less. I heard some rumors, and thought it sounded like an outrageous yet hilarious story. Rumors like it was a male F/A in some jetway somewhere.

If it was, I hope you wrapped it up.

Hahaha! That's a new on on me! Last I heard it was two F/As and a Gate Agent. Man this gets better and better...

ROTFLMAO!

HA HA HA HA HA HA!

This is too good.

Hey Matt, I LOVE your new avatar at jetcareers.com. You look so COOL with your sunglasses on and your hair spiked in mousse. You're my hero. Isn't it great relatively low time guys like us get to fly cool jets!

Ouch. I guess Matt took your money at one of our infamous Woodbury Poker Championships.

Sucks for you.

Don't be jealous. We can't all be EMB-170 pilot posers on the internet.

I hated the CRJ. Probably because I flew it at Mesa. The 700 is an awesome airplane in terms of performance. You can climb the darn thing at .80 mach and still get about 700 FPM if the temp is right. The 900 isn't as good as the 700, but it's still OK. The 200 is a piece of $hit. I don't think I ever flew one where everything was working. The 200 is a complete dog in terms of performance. I don't know how those 9E guys ever even got the thing up to 410, but I can see why it stalled out on 'em. The highest I ever had one was 330.....and it took FOREVER to get it up there.
