I've been watching Shuttle America's operation of EMB 170's and must say I'm impressed at the range and efficiency. One pilot told me they were burning about 3600 lbs/hr, which I believe is not much more than a 50 seat CRJ (any CRJ pilots out there to correct me?).
More interesting to me is their ability to go nearly coast to coast with 70 Pax. I think this could be the plane of the future, or maybe just a trend starter.
