If you have to do the "walk of shame" in flight, you're in an RJ.

If your flight attendant thinks that the Beatles are multiple VW's, you're in an RJ.

If your spoilers only have two settings (open and close) you're in an RJ.

If only vertically challenged people can see out your windows you're in an RJ. (POS 200).

If your rate of climb is less than 1000' below FL200, you're in an RJ.

If your F/O shows up with backpack in hand and thinks he's a finance guru, you're in an RJ.

If your company takes it in the tail pipe from their mainline partner...you are definitely in an RJ.

If you have to duck to keep from getting your head melted by APU exhaust, it might be an RJ... or conversly, if you stand in the APU exhaust in the winter to warm up (it's like a little piece of warm noisy smelly heaven)...

If you have to open 70 or 80 access panels to keep the TSA happy about your preflights (including the "Poopy Panel")...

If you've nearly been killed by hooking a luggage strap or loose piece of clothing on the stair railing on the way down....

If two people in the galley is one too many....

If you use more runway to land than the space shuttle....

-If your hotel can't give you a room key until you call your company
-If you use the galley door exit on the last leg of the last day of every trip to maintain what QOL you have
-If you have permanent back pains from looking out the passenger windows
-If both pilots are closer to their HS graduation year than they are to their 10 year reunion
-If you think South Bend is one of the best overnights
-If you think it would be funny to play "Welcome to the Jungle" for boarding music
-If you can see your tug driver
-If you fly the 777 on your flight sim on your days off
-If you ask for progressive taxi at O'hare (or any large city airport)
-If you slow down to 250 KIAS at 15,000ft because you are flying into Denver
-If you got hired at your first interview with you temporary CPL
-If you took a later interview date so you could do your Com-Multi checkride

if you're broken down on the side of the road while on the way to work and you are now late and expecting to be written up because you could only afford a clapped out POS, well then you should have been on the rj now.

[quote=TurboFan;487319]If your FA tells you she wishes she would have stayed in ground school the extra week to become a pilot instead... it might be a regional jet.

while i was in ground school I heard this from an FA who had the same DOH as me....priceless

Default Could be...

If the U.S. passenger airline you're flying on has had any clue how to run their business since deregulation then you have a very small chance of being on a regional jet, oh wait...you are on Southwest.
