I bet theres lots of folks like slaphappy and any of those GoJets goons out there who would sucker punch their mother to fly it too:rolleyes:

Depends? Do you want to be able to hear after a few years of flying? There's a reason why the call the ERJ the "WSCOD"...

Friends don't let friends fly the ERJ.

what if ERJ comes with with ERJ500?

that jet is that loud eh

LOUD is not the word for it...Try ORD-MKE at 10K and 320KIAS...Even w/David Clark's it's deafening. Up at altitude it isn't terrible, but you still need a damn good headset!

And with that, the ERJ flies like a real airplane, as opposed to the -200 of course ;-)

WSCOD? Whats that?

I've never flown the ERJ, but the CRJ is fun to fly if you know exactly how far you can take it. (That said, I enjoy flying a straight wing slowtation a lot more from a "flying" standpoint).

As for the "real" aircraft arguement- any aircraft with three seats across and bike handlebars...

Oh- and the CRJ has a better nickname than the ERJ:

Barbie Jet vs. Whistling ******can of Death.

I'll take the Barbie Jet for $200 Alex. :p

Which fat chick do you want? Either way, when you wake up in the morning, it's still a RJ.:(

When it comes to the 700 vs the the 170, I heard that the 170 takes the cake and of course the 190 tosses the 900 to the curb. But I haven't been on either of the EMBs so I can't personally speak from experience. The 170s and the 190s do look like baby 73s though. Kind of neat really that EMB took another step into making a "new" aircraft rather than the Canadian route in to just taking it to a limousine chop shop to add a few more seats.
