Longest Regional flight?

[aussieflyboy]

We (XJT) do YYZ-IAH and EWR-OKC

both over 1200 nm

IAH to PSP is the second longest at 1269 miles on ExpressJet.

XJT used to do IAH-BOI at 1286 miles and it often was a red-eye turn

Pinnacle is doing that route now with the -900. Delta website shows it as 1640 miles.

Showing 3:50 eastbound and 4:10 westbound.

To adjust my previous post, 1640 in 8.25 hours is still under 200 miles per hour average speed.

i believe they are talking about an Out and Back in 8:25 so more like 3280 total milesl/nearly 400mph

...at an average speed under 183? Are you certain about that?

Oops, That block was round trip.

That was the distance that showed up in the FMS with our route.

I didn't know Pinncale had the ETOPS for RJ's?

Nothing to be proud of boys and girls...NOTHING!!!!!

Joe are you that stupid?

Who said they are proud of it.

If Delta tells us to fly their we go.

NOBODY has ETOPS for an RJ....what are you talking about.

Virgin Blue in Australia has ETOPS for the E190.

Air Canada does Houston Bush to Calgary in a CRJ900... Over 4 hours in the air (not sure of the block but man my arse hurts just thinking of that)

You don't need ETOPS for STX.

 

[Headfake14]

fellas...it's not "ETOPS" that you're referring to. There is not an RJ on this planet that is approved for ETOPS. I believe the term you're searching for is the "EOW" exemption....Extended Over Water.

ETOPS is Extended range Twin engine Operating Performance Standards. A completely different animal.

We go 379nm off shore with our 190s and it's NOT an ETOPS rating...it's a variation of the "EOW".

xjt branded at one time did KAUS-KSAC in a " 50 seat RJ" at 1276.5 miles

I believe AC does that in a CR7 because I don't think they have any -900's... but I may be wrong, feel free to correct me someone.

ORD-YEG. OO - CR7

block 3:46

1420 miles

 

[joe_pilot]

SKYW used to do SLC-YYZ over 4 block and deadhead you back
SLC-BHM 3:40 block
There was even a one or two time SLC-ATL leg during the schedule change. It was over 4 hours.

I flew the E190 from LGB-IAD last winter. We only do it seasonally and usually during a transition between months. We also only do it non stop from west to east. Although not a regional, it shows the potential of the E190.

it's a CRJ705...a CRJ900 type certificated for only 75 or so seats to comply with (i think) air canada's scope. Skywest and Mesa have the potential to put 88 seats in their 900's while Jazz can't do any more than 75....

 

[SplitBar]

I'll take the XJ CRJ900 or CPZ 175 ANYDAY over a crappy center seat on the 757 or A320 at mainline !! I also regularly hear passengers comment on how much more comfortable the 900 is as opposed to most stuff at mainline. As for the 200, thats a different animal.

They are talking about out and back time genius. :laugh:

Plus distance and block time are different. I know at XJT the IAH-BOI flight was farther than EWR-OKC, but come wintertime the jetstream made that EWR-OKC flight take forever.
