The only regional jumbo jet = Avro RJ85

Why does it have 4 engines?

Because they couldn't fit 6.......

To irritate people like you, of course. And look, it WORKS!

Ok to put the thread back on track.

The capt I flew with...

pushed off the gate, get taxi instructions to the runway.

Delta behind us calls for taxi, ground tells him to follow the ERJ to the runway.

We're in a CRJ and we hadn't started taxiing yet, the capt gets on the radio to correct ground, "Ground we're a Canadair Regional Jet not an Embraer Regional Jet"

Ground apologizes, tells Delta to follow the CRJ to the runway.

Delta "It's still a regional jet"

We still haven't moved yet

He answers Delta "This C-R-J is the fastest regional jet in the sky. We fly Mach .83 what can you do?" (Delta was a 737)

I can't believe this crap is going on and want to yell "OMFG just **** and *********g taxi the d****d plane" Instead I tell him we're holding up progress - we gotta move.

Delta "We make more than you each minute you're sitting here yapping your flaps"

He slow taxis riding and burning up the brakes all the way to the runway. I couldnt help myself and jumped on the radio to apologize to ground and Delta for my captain's behavior.

is there another choice? ;)

To the penalty box for ground stop
To a hard stand for overnight park or maintenance
To the blast fence for an engine run

(crap, I sound like a spell check cop) :D

Maybe, but hilarious none the less.

Is this for real? No one can be that stupid.

I'm gonna throw the BS Card on this one. If it were true the FO would have also added that his Skipper bored him a new one and ratted him out to the CP and DO and his ALPA Rep.

If it was a 9E CRJ9 CA I used to fly with (when he was on the SAAB)...I can totally see this as actually happening.
