5000 lbs first hour
4000 lbs each additional hour

FSI teaches 4200# first hour and 3600# each additional hour... FWIW; most of those guys have never flown the plane

Flight Safty Does a pretty good job as far as teaching systems and Sim training is concerned. From an operating or flying the line standpoint they need improvement. 4200lbs the 1ST hour sounds a little low to me. Lear had it closer with 5000. I figure depending on your situation, 5-6K the 1ST hour, 4-4.5K the second and 3.4-3.8K in cruse or 3rd. That is based on my own observation. I agree completely with Lear with the fact that the fuel savings between .82 & .78 is quite significant.

An "E-Jet" is still an RJ

The only thing regional about the "E-Jet" is the pay.

This goes back to a point made earlier. What's "regional" about flying at .78 for 3 hours? That's a heck of a long leg.

Turboprops never die. They just get redesigned, repainted, and returned to service.

ATR-72-200: 1600 PPH.

Is this not a well known fact at the Kremlin?

170 does not burn more fuel than the crj700. that has been beaten to death.

1. Everyone hates riding on a regional jet but being we have the E170/175s, passengers would rather ride on us then yall with the crj700/900s sooooooo sucks to be you.

Call it a regional jet all u want. I dont care but the fact is, its a superior airplane to the canadian pos and passengers would rather fly on them.

being its flightinfo, my regional is better than yours! If you aint working here, too bad so sad.


BTW, I could care less what Boyd says

This post reminds me of a 12 year old on flight sim acting like a pilot....

In my experience the 170/175 burns about 4600 the first hour and about 3800 (average) after that depending on your speed and how long the flight is.

I have flown the CRJ 200/700 and the EMB 170/175. IMO the EMB is 10 times better as far as comfort and passenger approval.
I agree that the 200's are not profitable and alot will be parked soon. I posted this thread to find out what everyones thoughts were on what the future hold for CRJ drivers. That's alot of pilots that could be affected if mainline starts parking planes. I know Boyd states the obvious but I think he has a good point here.

Parking planes means utilizing larger scale aircraft on Domestic routes (IE ORD-ATL) 1 757 vs 2 737's but you still have to feed the larger equipment and supply the same seat capacity per route. Hence the market will still neccesitate regional feeders. Consolidation or merger means less competition and pilots at the major level but the passenger demand remains the same and regional feed is still needed.

Somethings fishy around this parts, thats for sure. Kinda reminds me of high school. You know, the time you hooked up with that chick that went to the other high school in town? Her snatch smelled like a wonder bread factory , but you were still excited to be playing with some kitty...

2008 should be an interesting year at RAH.

The 170/190 is far preferable to the pax but you are making a large jump assuming mgmt gives a damn what the pax want. Enjoy your crappy job. I wouldn't brag about it too hard if I were you.

All you guys really shouldn't get this excited over regional jets.

Huh?....I don't think anyone here is excited about a 76-86 seat jet. However, some people are hopeful that RAH has a bright future. That doesn't include "stealing" flying from anyone else, or "low balling" contract bids. What most want is just a better contract and more stable domiciles. If the jet that our company decided to purchase allows us weather a sizable industry crunch, thats something to be happy for.

Call the 170-175 anything you want.

Im glad I got out of the regional life, just really isnt worth it. Im flying a hawker (co-pilot) for more than what CA are making at the regionals. Simply pathetic. Also, my quality of is 10x's better. Its not the size of the airplane, its the size of the paycheck that matters.

Perhaps in your self saluting praise you dismissed the possibility that for some, working in the airline industry in its entirety is the gratification and symbolic of a paycheck. Having been in a position earlier in life to make a six figure income, I sit quietly in comfort knowing your money hungry score card will soon fill with points and shortly after be overtaken by another once again derailing your ego train. I can see from the suave and sophistication in your avatar's artwork, the airlines were truly privileged to have you. Hopefully you can learn to enjoy life's offerings on any livable wage and in time reminisce that your greed and degrading of others for your own self worth is what's truly "Pathetic". Have a good weekend.

Perhaps in your self saluting praise you dismissed the possibility that for some, working in the airline industry in its entirity is the gratification and symbology of a paycheck.

And that fact right there is why compensation at the regional level will never rise to its rightfully deserved level.

What in the hell is that supposed to mean? Do these people pay their bills while wearing their full airline uniform with symbolic airline money?

RAH sure low-balled XJT for the IAH flying. Oh yes, I went there.
