I'm such a lousy aircraft recognition guy. Sitting in a bigger jet cockpit gives you a different viewpoint/perspective than sitting closer to the ground. I was jumpseating in a couple weeks ago in the cockpit of an embraer and there was a 717 taxiing by. I said "that's a big crj" the capt said "that's a 717, you must fly something big."
So, yeah, I think they are shorter than airtrans'.
