How about an ATR 72-600 with lie flat seats to be within the 55 seat limit.

I saw what I guess was a new pink 42-600 in FLL

How’s the cockpit noise...louder than an A320? Do you guys take headsets off above FL180?

Thanks
The HUD housings are terribly annoying. I don’t know why we have them and don’t have the HUD. From what I understand, they will not be there in the 300 series planes.

The footrest is a strip of rubber at the bottom of the display. Not nearly as nice as the A320 but it’s adequate.

The cockpit is VERY loud. The loudest plane I have ever flown. The 320 is much quieter. Some guys still want to take headsets off above FL180 but I think that will change.

I really like the plane but the 320 was a quieter and more comfortable cockpit.

I’m guessing you’ve never flown the 737? Surely the A220 can’t be worse.

Is it loud from wind noise?

It bombardier. The cooling fans are probably making more noise than the wind.

1) Not our problem; there is or there isn't.
2) Main Line over 76 seats and/or existing GW limits and/or number of permitted 76 seat frames currently allowed.

Hmmm I find OO better than anyone else in our system. But I'm on the left coast & can really only speak for that part of the OO network. Maybe they're **** east of DEN.

No one can be worse than the mighty Compass and its ugly step sister GoJet.

Anybody know the number of block hours NYC has had since the 220 base has been open? How much does it increase per month?

Dunno. Finally saw one out in the wild yesterday when I was leaving Boston. Not a bad looking plane.

Still prefer the destinations on the ER though.
