It's nothing personal. It's just that almost everyone hates RJ's.

The only bad part is what 80 mentioned -- there's one ER captain out there who is going to be doing a lot of dancing on the carpet. Anybody have a wild guess what this will cost? Damages, lost revenue from 2 jets for XX weeks, etc. etc. Yikes!
Certainly a blessing that nobody was hurt, but that poor Captain has got to be feeling pretty sick right now.

So did I 10 years ago when I supported the ASA and CMR MECs pushing for a single list, so that ALL aircraft were on a single list....Mainline pilots didn't want the "little airplanes"....Eagle and Continental Express tried the same thing...same result....

Guess what? That was 10 years ago. Now that the ship has sailed, we've got to resort to taking them out one at time as we roll around. As part of the joint venture, Air France has taken 50% of the deal so far.

People do that because almost nobody wants them! RJ pilots wish they were all gone because that would mean a better chance of already being at a major. Major pilots wish they were all gone because it would mean less outsourcing. Passengers wish they were all gone because...they're RJ's.

Actually, Sit'n Spin is airworthy again. New tail, new gear and even new engines, i think. She's been signed off, but they're going to let an ex-Navy test pilot take her for a test drive before coming back on line.

Nah. As long as nobody is hurt, its perfectly acceptable to joke about it.
The only bad part is what 80 mentioned -- there's one ER captain out there who is going to be doing a lot of dancing on the carpet. Anybody have a wild guess what this will cost? Damages, lost revenue from 2 jets for XX weeks, etc. etc. Yikes!

It's more funny watching you get completely wrapped around the axle at our latest RJ elimination program.
