You both are probably wrong anyway. You dont fly both airplanes and whatever wikipedia says is probably wrong. In the end its out of all of our hands which ones might get purchased. Take your high school drama somewhere else.

 

You ARE quoting the fuel load, not the thrust and you are wrong. You are talking about the airplane that I fly. I just quoted you the correct number from my manual. And I was NOT the original person who stated that the 900 was 30% more efficient than the 175. I was just asking you how you thought it made sense for it to be even 15% more efficient while weighing less than the 175 and having 10,0000lbs more thrust (as you claim) which would be a drastic increase in fuel flow and therefore NOT effiicient at all. Check your facts...ALL of them.

 

But Tinpusher,

Checking facts would degrade the comedic value of this entire thread.

 

That avatar is hilarious.

 

That avatar pretty much sums up the overall direction of this thread...

9 pages??????

 

How long have you been with Mesaba? I thought so. CRJ9 is also my aircraft. Maybe I am wrong maybe I am not. At this point who gives a ****. You and Jockstrap are both like obnoxious chihuahuas that won't let go of my shoelace. Only solution is to kick it a swift kick in the ###.

Not even sure why Jockstrap spend so much time in this thread. Aren't you the guy that drank too much company koolaid and always boasts about how great Skywest is? Why don't you go to the Skywest thread and stop pestering others here.

Like I said several times go back to the original thread. With you two pestering around here, no ones been able to say anything of any value.

 

I have yet to call you any names but yet you have chosen to resort to 12 year old antics and profanity. That’s pathetic and immature; I’d expect more from a “professional” pilot. Why have I posted on the forum? Simple, my natural curiosity drives me to read and learn seeing it is my chosen industry and everything affects everybody including myself. BTW; you to have posted on XJT, RAH, GoJet, TSA and SKW threads so stop being a hypocrite. Remember that this is a “public” forum.

Need any more proof? Proof? Now that’s something that you have a hard time producing. Bottom line……….you’re wrong and you can’t handle it. Even when your fellow XJ pilots quote your company’s manuals.

I’m not going to lower myself to your level and call you names. You are more than welcome to come back on here and continue to attack me, post rebuttals and do whatever the hell makes you feel better about yourself but the fact is you’re wrong and you’re arguing hear say that has been proven to be wrong.

Good Day.

 

How dare you question the all knowing Lighteningspeed! If he said it it is true!!!! Only the Mesaba 900 XXGEN aircraft have the capability of the extra thrust and only when he is sitting in his position as "Senior" Lead FA. He is the key that makes the Disney/Pixar engines come to life. He just sprinkles a little pixie dust on dem dare engInes and BAM! Extra Extra power. Works great when flying to the Neverland ranch.

 

Now that's funny. LOL!

 

For what its worth, I have been with Mesaba 1 year and 1 month approx. That fact has nothing to do with this debate. Furthermore, we wouldn't be still debating this issue if you would have simply acknowledged that your facts were incorrect. You didn't even make room for the possibility.

We work for the same company and fly the same plane, so theres no need to talk ******...I didn't do that to you, I just corrected you. As you said, who really cares how much power it is right, FADEC controls it and we set power based on N1 not lbs of thrust. Thats all I have to say about it anymore. Be safe out there Lighteningspeed!
