Longest Regional flight?

[SpauldingSmails]

The two longest we do at Compass are DTW-MTY (Monterrey, Mex) and MSP-YVR... I forget the mileage, but they're both like watching paint dry on a cool damp day.

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".

Headfake,

Did you notice I said ETOPS for RJ's. Like baby ETOPS.

Don't get your panties in a wad.

If you came from ASA cut your old ASA brother some slack.

IT WAS A JOKE!

I know CRJ's don't have the true ETOPS.

Pinnacle used to do DTW-AUS daily as well as MSP-SAV on occassion... my butt still hurts.

edit: those were CRJ2 legs...each very close to 1000. absolutely rediculous.

MSP - ELP around 2005

those were long legs but the margaritas at Carlos and Mickeys, especially with the "Juan" and only were awesome........

At Comair we used to do JFK-AUS, and that was blocked at 4:30. Don't know the mileage. Would have to stop for fuel sometimes if the winds were strong.

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

I personally don't know any regional guy who likes sitting in that airplane for more than 2 hours, let alone 3-4 hour legs.
Regionals should only be flying props, with short legs.

But once upon a time, there were some mainline guys and a Union...sorry an ASSociation, who were too good for the regional jets. Now all their flying belongs to the regionals.

They F'ed up.

I flew with a CA a few weeks ago on an EWR-NAS turn (7.5 hrs round trip) who bids day trips like that and like EWR to OKC/MCI/OMA/MSP/TUL/XNA/MEM/LIT because being in a cockpit for hours on end made him "feel more like a REAL airline pilot". He also called our E-145 a "jet for beginners". It's called little d!ck syndrome.
