I mean.... really!!!!!!!!!!

Can you imagine the loading process of this b!tch? 2 in the back, 2 up front..... no maam you're the 3rd one in the back we're gonna have to ask you to get off so the plane doesn't sit on its a$$....

What's the difference in length between that and the MD80? Not much. I wonder if any improvements were made to the limited bin space and goofy window spacing (i.e., CR9)? The Embraer products (E170/90)are far more comfy for pax.

and still they call it a C'RJ'

gotta love marketing and their attempts to keep our profession in the crapper

Marketing is not the one that keeps voting for the outsourcing by 60+% margins

 

[DrewBlows]

It's "God's sake" as opposed to "God sakes". The apostrophe followed by the 's' indicates possession. I don't think 'sakes' is a word.

 

[coolyokeluke]

I suppose as long as it says "Bombardier" or "Embraer" then it doesn't deserve a mainline payscale. So they'll just keep stretching them.

YYYYAAAWWWWNNNNNN.......

You're my hero....

 

[Andy Neill]

I don't think 'sakes' is a word.

This is a common belief. In fact, sakes is a perfectly valid word. For instance, let's say you were at a Japanese bar. You might say, "Man, this is some pretty good sake." Then you realize you have never disliked any of their fermented rice drinks and you would follow that up with, "Come to think of it, I like all the sakes served here."

 

[Dumb Pilot]

"Come to think of it, I like all the sakes served here."[/B]

I use that phrase often:beer:

So he really wanted to say "For Good Sakes"

Marketing is everything.

The Shampoo industry practically doubled their profits by adding one word to the instructions. Rinse, wash, "Repeat."

Thank you, you just made my point. You would figure that pilots are trained professionals that wouldn't allow themselves to be confused by the addition of one word such as "Repeat" or for that matter "Regional" to realize that it doesn't matter how they market it, a 70 to 90 passenger jet airliner that flies 1,000 mile sectors is not really a regional but rather a mainline A/C. But instead, 60+% of the mainline drivers are as naive as your typical shampoo buying teenager. Shampoo, (you will loose the perks of your seniority) Rinse, (give up on 40% of your salary and screw the junior pilots by outsourcing 90 seaters, don't worry they are regionals) Now , my question is. How many times we are going to "repeat"?

 

[waveflyer]

well said- i'm glad guys are 'getting' it. seniority doesn't work while we keep outsourcing jobs... it's especially offensive since the votes happened w/ guys out on furlough.
Great plane- no problems w/ it- but fly it yourself !

 

[FBN0223]

It's like a 50 seat RJ except a longer crawl to the back.
No thanks. Fly Boeing jets!!

 

[waveflyer]

Did you really say "No Thanks" ???

Great- you think that mgmt gives a damn whether or not you like flying the thing.... This is about what SCOPE HAS DONE TO THE FLYING CAREER. And if you don't know what it's done- you're a self-centered me first prick. If it has your logo on the tail- that pilot group should be flying the plane. PERIOD. You're an idiot if you disagree w/ that on ANY level.

(I kinda feel strongly about it... )

 

[CoolSidePillow]

I hate regional jets, the pukes that fly them and what it has done to flying careers.

 

[Colonel Savage]

Pretty much symbolizes the "lengths" of corruption and greed managements in this business will go to facilitate cheap labor.

Lighten up, Francis!!!

Unfortunately, there's some pimple faced kid at ERAU masterbating to that picture instead of porn.

 

[waveflyer]

Lighten up, Francis!!!

yeah? lighten up?
I'll lighten up about a lot- not about scope. I see you never had to fly the dc-9/73 replacement for 1/3 wages.... You probably didn't get furloughed b/c of the choice either. Those among us who have spent the better part of the last 10 years in "regionals" while on furlough are probably not going to "lighten up" about scope any time soon.

selfish shortsighted weak-sauce prick.

 

[sitnresrv]

Stifler, you just about made me snort my coffee after reading your comment. As funny as it is, it is also 100% true.

DC-9...4000 hours in the right seat at NWA.
Furloughed...Twice

BTW, name-calling, not cool!!!

The misconect bags due to weight limit is gonna be unbelievable. Even purses and laptops will have to be checked at the boarding area for next day delivery.:laugh:

enough with the religious mumbo jumbo!

If all those RJs were at mainline, theres a chance you never would've been furloughed. But, instead, the "bottom" of your list works for a different company.

Really!!! You're preaching to the choir.

Screw this flow-up and flow-down between NWA and it's subsidiaries. We should have had one seniority list for all aircraft operating under the NWA brand. If flow-up is to happen that would be a NWA pilot "moving up" from the RJ to the DC-9 or A320 or whatever his seniority will hold on the NWA seniority list. The JCBA agreement should have made it all happen but once again we fell way short on scope.

Back to my original point. I do think the CRJ is a poor product. You can stretch it, shrink or whatever you want but I'll take a ride on the old DC-9 or at least the EMB170/190 before subjecting myself to riding on the the CRJ.

 

[get2flyin]

You seem to have a lot of rage. Why do you hate everything?

 

[waveflyer]

fbn- we agree. So why the lighten up comment? You understand it- and to me, you're either pissed, or you don't get it.
But i'm glad to see you get it.

 

[Rick James]

Wow, looks like a real "clean sheet" design. I wonder if it has the Pro Line 4 up front.

 

[FBN0223]

Why lighten up? Because I mention how I dislike riding on CRJs and you start in with name calling and give me a lecture on scope. After over ten years at NWA riding the bottom third of the list, I have figured that out.

 

[SpauldingSmails]

Looks like unmitigated passenger hell.

Just imagine how sideways you'll be able to get that thing in the winter on a slick taxiway... weeeeeee!
