^^^^ FWIW, this is an Embraer E-175. When tower tells you to follow the Embraer E-175, don't argue with the pilot next to you as the Embraer taxis by and say "that's an Airbus, we're supposed to follow an Embraer." Yeah, I know I'm speaking to the choir here though but still, basic aircraft identification should be the simplest part of the job. I mean is that a 737-800 or a 739 or a DC-9-40 or -50? You get a pass on that, but everyone should easily recognize the 732 replacement fleet.



The best part about the word connection on the CRJ-900 is that when it's at the gate and the service door is open you don't see "connection."
