811 would be a brand new 900ER.

In the event they filled it, you iced up, lost an engine, and had to wave off.... You woulda been screwed! Otherwise it's a great airplane 99% of the time. Just takes forever to load/unload. Had 188 SOB one the other day.
This day and age with the technology available those kind of penalties should yesterday's fish. Boeing quit serious engineering some time ago.
