The 170 is a gas guzzler???...........MMMMMMMMMM,Aaaaand who do you work for again?
I don't see why RAH is in so much better shape than the other regional carriers. The E170 is a gas guzzler. Unless I've been grossly misinformed, the Jungle Bus burns more gas than the CRJs with equivalent seating capacity, and still burns more dead dinosaurs per passenger mile than a guppy or 'bus. Engines mounted on wings do not a mainline airliner make. It's an interesting article, just don't take the positive stuff written about your airline as gospel truth or you'll draw accusations of SKW-style Kool-Aid consumption.
Turboprops are taking it back! GLA is going to run the whole show! Pass the Sharkleberry Fin!
sure compared to a 1900, Saab or Dash. Compared to the 737 or the Bus, no way in hell. Sure if you fly the 170 around at .82 all day long, she'll eat up gas. However if you know how to cut the corners and fly it the way it should be flown then you will see some pretty good fuel savings. Seeing as how you have never flown a 170/175 I will bet that you have been grossly misinformed.
