Mesa ORD accident this morning

[wms]

Personally, I think if you throw the -700 engines on it, it will be one hell of an airplane.
I don't know anyone that likes to climb 300-500FPM about FL180.
Or when ATC asks to maintain 300kias and you have to reply "Not sure if we can get it going that fast, maybe if you give us a decent"

But this airplane is stretched so thin, it's a disposable airplane.

It would probably need the -700 wings also.

The CRJ-200 is the biggest POS in the skies. It should not be in airline service of any kind.

Obviously you have never flown a Mitsubishi Diamond Jet.

Well it appears the FAA screwed the pooch on this one. If you look at the photo from the news story in the first post you can clearly see the fwd baggage door. Those do not exist on the 200. Also on the nose door you can see the tail number "511" which is a 700.

Thanks for pointing that out! Did not notice the forward cargo hatch.

Of course.
It would be a sweet ride.

Obviously you have never flown a Mitsubishi Diamond Jet.

Or a Cessna slowtation...

Hmmmm. FAA seemed to think it was a CRJ2.

They also seem to think that there was no crew onboard, only 32 pax. Gotta love them feds.

Obviously you have never flown a Mitsubishi Diamond Jet.

At least all airspeed limitations were easy though. Everything = 200kt.

The real questions should be, do the crj200 and 700 share identical uplocks? and were they replaced recently on the accident aircraft? maybe a bad batch from the vendor?

Well no wonder they had problems!

At least with that you had short field performance.
