Oh, and as we boarded our flight today, we overheard someone calling this aircraft a puddlejumper. However, this puddlejumper got us to our destination a full 35 minutes early, which we think is pretty nifty. Once again, thanks for flying with us and we'll see you on the ground."
That's awful.
She has the right to voice her opinion of the airplane, obnoxious or not -- and who can really disagree with her that much? A CRJ-700 is only the jet of choice when you compare it to a CRJ-200 or EMB-145. Also, maybe part of her complaint came from gate checking bags, which is a very annoying process, and eats up connecting time upon arrival.
The CRJ-700 is bad to ride on compared to a lot of other things out there, and your PA became the latest reason.
