An airline is only as smart as their dumbest pilot!

We are consistently dispatched to an altitude we will not be able to make in 200s. The answer to this is simple...."We'd like to stop the climb at FLXXX." If you are in a 200, in the summer, and you are filed at 350 it probably aint gonna happen. grab a little more gas and stop the climb at 31. At what point did we stop being pilots? This is basic stuff. A FL280 restriction is a little extreme.

A 7/9 being restricted to 350 is downright asinine.

Am I the only one reading this correctly? There isn't an altitude restriction, it's a minimum air speed restriction.

What do you mean "stay legal"?

If you can't climb at 500fpm, you simply tell ATC.

Is there something else you're referencing that's "illegal"?

Understood and agree. I guess I just thought that was a given. How often have you heard a CRJ saying "unable to maintain a 500fpm climb?" (Or some derivative)

Delta Air Line pilots fly the CRJ-900?

Not sure how many aircraft I've ever heard make that report, in the flight levels anyway.

But I'm not sure if I care that much to notice.

Not really sure though how that factors into pilots KNOWING HOW TO DO THEIR FRIGGIN' JOB.

Can't climb? Simply tell ATC you can't climb. What are they gonna do? Violate you because you complied with FAR's on a mandatory report?
