Thanks for info. I always like to learn something. I was talking about the LR but defenetly the XR is doing a good job on longer legs. Also I was wondering which plane has better performance on single engine flying. Also in hot and high ops, what's the maximum density altitude an ERJ145 can take-off full pax (part 121 reqs.)? (Asuming you are flying a 300NM leg)?
