And think about the great confusion among the passengers when they refer to the mainline Delta EMB-1200 as a jet. Because if its at mainline, its "a jet" while anything at the all jet DCI is, I guess, "not a jet."
Come on, long live mainline props!
All joking aside, 400 knot 70+ seat turboprops that CAL mainline pilots consider a 735 replacement, will be soon joined by stretched or clean sheet 90+ seat ATRs and Dash's. I know you believe me ACL, but if someone else doesn't check out this:

U-CAL, thats United and Continental, have jumped ahead of Delta Air Lines in the "race" to get the 787! But the Chicago Tribune reports, nobody wants the first production airplanes because they're fatter than previously thought. Word is, the 787 is compromised but nobody knows how much but Boeing has said they have significant design improvements that start with the 25th Dreamliner.

Meanwhile, FTB is shoring up in his mind the Embraer 1200. Its an EMB-195 stretched to seat 120 with a straight wing and massive turboprops and main gear trucks for coolness. It'll burn 50% less fuel than any jet version of similiar size, wait, 54%. Hell, I can do this like the professional pinheads that figure out the number of hurricanes each year... the EMB-1200 will save 20%-95% in fuel. Its the game changer that EMB needs because lets face it, the E-Jets are not game changers and there is a chance the C-Series might not be either. EMB said in AW&ST that they don't intend to go into the same size market as the C-Series because their aircraft is not a game changer and why go into a heavily crowded market and get clobbered every way possible? Hence, FTB's, EMB-1200.
No picture yet, if picture is needed, go look at Mrs McPhee a few pages back for a few minutes.

ATL ER just gets that much more funner on September 4th with 76ER Monrovia Liberia flights with a stop in Accra.

Just one question: does it have "the yoke"...

Former fighter pilot trying to relive the glory days or just a really crappy flare?
"I'm behind on energy.. I'm just gonna pull back harder. Why is the yoke vibrating?"
