The NWA DC9 I fly burns 3000 lbs per side during .78 cruise at about FL310!
At FL350 it drops to approximately 2700 lbs per side. So where's the big fuel savings with the E170?
The diesel 9 carries from 100 to 120 pax depending on the model. that's a lot more than the 70 - 90 pax the E170 series carries.
Maybe I just don't have the big picture, after all that's what NWA management keeps telling us............Geesh!
Hey sport... he was talking about the MD-80.... Re-read it.... They were asking what he burns doing .74. The E170 probably has a burn closer to the CRJ... it's got the same engines... not the JT8 like the 80 has or your 9 has... big difference.
