EMJ Drivers Question

[dwhsunday]

Does anyone out there have hamstring problems sitting in the EMJ. I can't stop the burning after an hour. I've thought about brining a hemorrhoid pillow to sit on. I just want the pain to go away. If it get's any worse I'll apply to Union Pacific and drive a train across the country. They need people.

6'4 and have no problems in the 145. You can stretch out your legs in flight...so no, never had burning hamstrings in it

just have the F/A rub some icyhot on them before the flight.

I actually did have that problem, my right hamstring would get tight and start to burn on longer legs. I thought it was from running or working out. I later found out from a friend that had the same problem that sitting on your wallet for a period of time pinches some nerve and causes that pain. (Not that my wallet is very fat being an FO on an Embraer). However, I always take it out and put it in my kit bag and I have not had the pain since. Hope that helps..

I wonder if airline execs have that problem? Hehe.
