For any CRJ or EMB-120 pilots, how often do you guys have weight restrictions? How long do those flights have to be to make you restricted? How many passengers do you typically bump? Is this a problem with the CRJ-700?
Thanks
The CRJ200 usually gets restricted on flights over 1.5hrs when there is some bad weather involved...The CRJ700 usually doesnt get weight restricted, exept in ASE/JAC and on flights over 3 hours!!!! The EMB-120 on the other hand gets weight restricted all the time, even on 1/2 hour flights...especially flights in and out of DEN/SLC....when its 100 degrees in DEN dont expect more than 16 people on that 30 seat brasilia, the lowest I have ever seen on a brasilia is 9 people with 300lb of cargo...weight restricted!!!!!
Dont be surprised, I am surprised you havent ran into this problem earlier!!!!
