The Ejet is broke less, fewer MELs, less waiting for maintenance.
The Ejet is more automated, like Airbus and Boeing aircraft. This can be more challenging if technology challenged. But, the automation helps with fatigue. I believe it helps prepare one for moving on to the majors.
When you talk about this trip list, as a guy never having flown for an airline, are those trips to those locations and then back to IAH.
I.e. the IAH to BOI then IAH to DCA the next day. Is that typical for Mesa ERJ flying out of IAH?
