Until ExpressJet buys Jet Blue. Then we will be the same company doing all of the flying.

It's funny because it's true!
However, this is what I love about the plane. Wings fell off? Reset the circuit breaker and the problem's fixed!

Deselect the Backup Battery first, though.

I forgot that the spelling police was still atlarge here. I will the better man, and not make any wise crack remarks.

Express Jet was given the flying because Jet Blue selected us to do it. Embraer is paying for it though. They can't launch an aircraft to save their lives. When the 145 was introduced it almost got shut down by the FAA due to engines shutting down. Turned out to be bad FADECS. Not sure what the problem is with the 190. Rumor seems to be fly-by-wire stuff. Originally 45 days so they could fix the problem quickly. Haven't heard anything from the brass since it started.

Hey what fun would it be if pilots didn't rib each other all the time? Just messing with you. No need to be the 'better man'
