Wow man, why do you have to come in and ruin a perfectly good thread. I don't see anyone from ASA here beating there chest about this airplane. The one guy that spoke of the "-9" as some like to call it isn't even from ASA. Then someone made a witty comment relating it to the DC-9 as a joke. The rest has to do with Cat II certs, which is a perfectly good point to speak of.
The little pride some of the actual ASA guys are showing on here is well deserved because for the longest time threads were all about how ASA is NEVER going to see a larger aircraft on property. Well, the impossible has occurred.
We at ASA all understand that the payscales have always been for up to 76 seats and the scope of the DCI limits them to 76 seats. It's just something new and interesting to talk about.
Lighten up!
