Sounds about right. The CRJ does about that, depending on altitude. Higher is a lower burn, but it doesn't climb well enough to climb high on short segments.
I don't know what the burn is on the -700 or -900 CRJs. Anyone fly them care to fill us in? But I bet the burn is less per seat on the CRJ 700/900 than on the 200.

Same here at Mesaba. I was in the October class, had the entire month of November off waiting on sim, passed the checkride in December, and now still waiting for IOE. From what I've heard, I can expect to finally get in the plane near the beginning of Feb. Considering as many planes as we're supposedly getting, our hiring really isn't slowing down the process as much as the training department's ability to get everyone through the hoops. There's only so much sim time available, and only so many check airmen (and it's never enough).

Not a far fetched idea! Not only the B1900, but the ATR's, 120's as well. I believe that some of regionals may reconsider retiring their turbo-prop a/c due to higher cost in fuel.

Why?? We fly Jets on routes that warrant nothing but a good Prop-job. They are far more fuel-efficient than our RJ's...
