It should be criminal to pack human beings into the back of those things. Besides, they look dumb in the basic US Airways colors with Continental Connection painted on.
What's your grudge against the 1900? It does its job and it does it well. Sure some of them are getting a little up there in age, but they're quick little guys, most pilots love to fly them because there one of the few t-props that are handflown on a regular basis.. They weren't made for the utmost in comfort they were made to fill a niche in the industry and save regional operators dough. I'm sorry it doesn't smell like fresh roses everytime you walk in and isn't painted in your ideal paint scheme, it's the operators fault not the 1900's. I hope you aren't serious because these are ridiculous things to whine about. Get a life, dont rip on the 1900.

flew the 1900 for awhile, one the funniest planes I have flown still, loved flying it by hand, and easy to fly in rough weather, course I only had cargo in it .... and stopped it in 1600 feet one time, without blewing a tire or skidding

Oh, yeah, absolutely! Nothing like the luxury to be found in the back of your ERJ heavy jet!
