Most of the time I don't mind: Block or Better. But if you are in a hurry, all you can do is run up on them below Class A, get them in sight, get approval, maintain visual separation and blow right by. I've done it so many times between LAX and FAT that I lost count.

it’s extremely fuel efficient, burning around 800 lbs per hour TOTAL in cruise and an average of between 900 to 1000 lbs per hour when you include TO and CLB. It’s been the backbone of SKW as they’ve grown from a small piston operator in the early 70’s to what they are today. Without her we wouldn’t be who we are and I’m proud to fly her. The funny part is that most of us refer to the E120 as "her" but someone gave her the nickname, "Bro?"
I guess it's an inability to pronounce "Brasilia"? *shrug* ;)

Turboprops are here to stay regardless of what passengers think (thank God) :) For most operations that the RJ flies, it's overkill, and easily replaceable with a turboprop airplane.

Maybe Embraer will build some new -120s...

Wow...that's awesome to be no. 53 out of 53. I think I'm in the mid-40's. I interviewed sometime mid-June.
