Oh, and as we boarded our flight today, we overheard someone calling this aircraft a puddlejumper.

She has the right to voice her opinion of the airplane, obnoxious or not -- and who can really disagree with her that much? A CRJ-700 is only the jet of choice when you compare it to a CRJ-200 or EMB-145. Also, maybe part of her complaint came from gate checking bags, which is a very annoying process, and eats up connecting time upon arrival.
The CRJ-700 is bad to ride on compared to a lot of other things out there, and your PA became the latest reason.

The FO who insisted that we needed to turn on engine anti-ice AFTER landing while taxiing to the gate in wintery conditions. I humored him and said that "I don't think it's required but it probably won't hurt anything so go nuts if it makes you happy." He continued to insist during the taxi in that on "every jet at every other company, that's what we do!" After we park, I suggest that I had NEVER heard that and that at THIS company on THIS jet, that we do NOT do that and that if the company wanted us to do so, ice protection would be on the after landing and parking checklists. Fellow proceeds to get butthurt.

No. As cringeworthy as that is, it does not single out and bully a paying customer.

2. Quit being such an ass.
3. You're wrong. From your post history, you're an xjt CA. Procedures are to turn eng ai on in ground icing conditions.
4. It's scary you're headed to Delta with that attitude.
