Question for CRJ pilots

[Oakum_Boy]

Why, after years flying the darned thing do you continue to use the flight SPOILERS to slow the airplane? I'm getting a little tired of seeing it, frankly. I guess they didn't teach the difference between a speedBRAKE and spolier at ATP or Riddle Diddle. Yet you all think you're da bomb.

Flame away, hosers.

I guess it might be because we don't have speedbrakes....thats a start.

My goodness-I never have considered doing anything else with that handle....

-Besides tearing it off, and slapping you in the head with it!

-Dang, son!

I thought I was using the angle of attack to slow the airplane...

 

[Salukipilot4590]

I use the fact that I haven't been laid since September to slow my roll.

Where did this idiocy of using the spoilers is in "bad form" came from?

With the flaps 8 speed now 200kts, flight spoilers might come in handy a little more often. If you don't like to see them, close you shade doofus. What kind of dork stares out the window looking at the wing anyway? Besides that, you must have a Napoleon complex, because anyone taller than 5' 5" can't see out the window anyway! I'll take a trusty CRJ200 any day over the WSCOD...
