No biggie, if my sources are correct, alfa and slow aren't going to be collecting FPL much longer anyways. :D

When I heard she was fighting the big canasta, it really broke my heart. If anyone deserves the rest of their life sipping juleps on her patio in Boca, it's AT!

Interestingly, I never really understood what her job was, but she did it with ease and flair. Great gal!

She was JFK!

Cheers

That's an often repeated fallacy without any basis in fact.

While the CRJ is an adoption of a bastardized Bill Lear design, the EMB was designed as an airliner.

The difference is the jet, meant to ferry a few people a few times a month and later modified to seat more and fly way more frequently is simply less well made.

I've been in SJK with heads of MX that work with EMB and BBD discuss how terrible the factory support from Canada is...

Does it matter? I couldn't care less about the reliability and efficiency of outsourced airframes.
