Nothing like needing to get from ATL-DFW and the company puts you on the 3 (or was it 4?), stop EMB-120. Look up suck on Wikipedia and this is the definition.

I think it’s hilarious when pilots complain about the -200. Yes, it’s workload intensive. Yes, it has some quirks. Yes, it’s hot on the ground if the APU is inop, or your company sucks at cleaning the packs, but blame your company for carrying around MEL’s, not the airplane. Everything else just requires to, you know, be a pilot. The thing we trained to do. If you can’t handle descending in icing with the boards out and the power up you shouldn’t be doing this job. I see so many people just immediately slap the flight spoilers from full to zero and then complain about the airplane, or float halfway down the runway because they didn’t manage their energy correctly, like it’s the airplane’s fault they don’t understand aerodynamics.

Still a damn good old airplane.

I’m a bigger dude and honestly it’s not bad. Not much different than cattle class in a 737. Sucks that airlines are using it for 2.5 hour flights but it was never meant for that.

I believe the seats are narrower and if you are in a window seat, the body curves into you both on your legs and your shoulders. The 200 really is the nut low as a passenger.

Is the 145 some how better?
It's just as awful in the cabin.
