Ha! 900 is a better plane, no doubt. Thats why I could only be a reserve captain on it vs a decent line on the 200. The "200 is better crowd" is in denial, I am struggling to come up with anything aside from relative seniority that is better on the 200... long term stability maybe?

Layovers in small cities happens way more on the 200, if your into that kind of thing. Not sitting in an airplane for 3+ hours is another...

I don't think anyone says the 200 is better. Just that at the end of the day for $2 less per hour, it doesn't matter.

When I started, I wanted the 900. Would have bid for it and gotten it, had it not been for a couple of wise, helpful fellas here who talked me into the 200. I took their advice, bid 200, and am very glad I did for movement alone. Who needs FADEC when a FODEC is more fun to talk to anyway?

The 200 will be here longer than 2 years. Russ mentioned 3-5 year plan before they are gone and 175-200 airframes not including the 200s.

FO comes up with better jokes when they ain't trying to bring the power up on the descent with the boards out trying to burn the ice off the wings while making the speed and altitude restrictions.

Sure and Endeavor wasnt IN the five year plan until last year. *Shrug* when gas goes up 200s leave and Russ and Guum have no say in it.

No email for me. I thought it said early this week but I'm going off my memory.

200 only has 1 FA. That can be a plus a lot of times.
