...if a passenger asks the crew if this is the first airplane they've flown...then you might be on a regional jet...

...when doing the walk around at O'Dark Thirty and almost have a heart attack when you get near the baggage door and it slides open and two rampers jump out...you might be on a regional jet...

...when you have to explain about 899 times a day that the bags with a red tag will be on the jet bridge when we land...you may then be on a regional jet...

...you may be on a regional jet when each and every captain makes it a point to tell you that he was flying before you were born...had to have 5000 TT to even get an interview...never had an auto pilot...and how easy you have it being a 250 hr FO...(even though you have quite a bit more than 250 hrs)....then you might be on a regional jet...

If your feet are frozen blocks of ice but your head is sweating - you might be on a Regional Jet (200)

If you want to vomit whenever you see the paycheck, it might be a regional jet.

If sitting in the emergency exit row does not give you extra leg room, it might be an RJ.

If your laptop case does not fit in the overhead, it might be an RJ.

If the airplane you fly is nothing other than a stretched version of a previously designed corporate jet, it might be an RJ.

If you're sitting in the back row and the engine noise is just as loud as most turboprops, it might be an RJ. (Or a DC9, MD80)

If your FA is on her last trip before she leaves to go to ALLATP's for the zero to hero program and says "See you in 6 months when I'm an FO".......you might be in a Regional Jet.

If the plane that taxi's by you in united colors is being flown by guys who turn their id badges around so you can't "recognize" who they work for...They might be flying a regional jet.

If your FO packs more ramen noodles than uniforms....you might be on a regional jet.

If your FA has a tear drop tattoo under her eye and you have to wear neutral gang colors to work....you might be on a regional jet.
