US Airways Bombardier Agree on Removal

[BoilerUP]

Yeah Air Wisc are picking them up and moving some 200's to the Midwest operation.

Now that's some powerful wishful thinking, my friend!:nuts:. Or ganja as it were. Be prepared to tinkle next time you're in PHL...

190 Training

Don't worry boyz. We are going to Brazil to pick up the 1st 190 Monday night. They moved up the delivery dates.

Just wondering, have they already added sims in Charlotte for the 190? Congrats on becoming a check airman.

 

[RP170]

I fly what they give me. I couldn't care less what airplane i show up to fly. The advantage to the 200 is you have one less gay flight attendent!

Lets compare apples to apples. The E145 compared to the CRJ 200... 200 is far more comfortable. And if you are stupid enough to forget your yellow tag then you deserve a trip to baggage claim.

Except your neck hurts after getting off the 200 if you've tried to look out the window at all during the flight.

Butt

Better my neck then my butt. Actually the seats on US Air 757's are worn out. You have to slide your butt forward to fit into the grove. Then you get a sore back for having bad posture. But what do you want when you travel for free right?

Let me guess. You are one of those guys who bids to fly only on the -700 because it makes you feel important right? Look, from a pilot standpoint the -700 is a good airplane when compared to other regional jets. However, unless you are 5'4" or shorter the aircraft is terrible as a passenger. There is no leg room, the seats are hard, and due to crappy construction the person sitting in front of you ends up leaned back into your lap even if they never hit the recline button.

Boarding may be somewhat faster with no large carry-ons, but all it takes is one pax arguing about plane side checking a bag ("I took it on the last flight") and that is all thrown out the window. Deplaning is NOT any faster unless you have no carry-on bags because you have to wait longer for the ramp to get your bags off than it would take you to take them out of the overhead. Oh, and it is a big deal waiting for those bags when: A. you have a tight connection or, B: the yellow tag didn't get put on your bag (~ every other flight this happens).

As a passenger, the E170 is excellent and I would take it anyday over a -700.

Oh...snap!

Welcome to who is the best of US Airways Express carriers. . .Skyworst can shove it as well. As a Dash 8 FO, I am happy to say that all the toy jets out there suck.

The E-170 excluded. I was quite comfortable.

 

[Minimaniac]

There is a reason why the 170 is arguably the best overall RJ out there... because it really isn't an RJ! It is an inexpensive mainline aircraft with mainline aircraft ammenities (if the buyer isn't too cheap to outfit it correctly). Unfortunately it came to the market at a time when the legacy carriers could not afford to buy them (despite an effort by Airways), so they all ended up at RAH. I fly it because that is what I was placed into, but I would much rather be in the same seat making the same crappy wages but with a mainline seniority number.

 

[Quack]

I heard US Air is placing an order in lieu of the cancelled 700's for dash 8 400's...

Probably so but you will be asked to fly them for 200 rates. Take it or leave it!! Sound familiar?

I agree wholeheartedly. The 170 is by far the most comfortable of the planes mentioned here. And although the SkyDoo's (CRJs) are more comfortable than the ERJ... thats not saying much. The EMB-145 is very uncomfortable to ride in.

Just wondering, have they already added sims in Charlotte for the 190? Congrats on becoming a check airman.

There has been a sim in CLT a few years now. It is a common type with the 170. That will be the 190 sim. Mostly just software changes in the sim to make it a 190. With many pilots already trained, my guess is they already have it converted to a 190 sim...

Not that we have any 200's.

 

[ex j-41]

What is Piedmont going to do when Parker tells them to fly the Q-400's at the current rate?

We will worry about that when or if it happens.

Hopefully what PSA did!! Have atleast 50% say shove it!!!!

Yeah, but she seemed to like me just fine last night.
