It's that flying on an RJ is more inconvenient and uncomfortable than flying on a 'full sized' jet. This was definitely true with 50 seaters and many of the larger RJs, although I haven't been on one in a while.

If we were using a car comparison, it's like riding in a Smart Car (if you haven't been in one, you can rent one through car2go) and a Chevy Cruze.

It's not about being below oneself to travel on an RJ and not so much about second class citizen; it's that it's a more painful way to travel on multiple levels.

Let me flip the conversation on you. Do you consider the RJ to be as comfortable as a mainline aircraft?
