Default ...it might be a regional jet.

With all the talk about where the line should be drawn between what should, and what should not be considered a regional jet (i.e. 100 seat CRJ-1000, regional jet?), I thought we should start a Jeff Foxworthy-esque "You might be a redneck" thread, except the punch line will be "...it might be a regional jet". I'll start us off...

"If you're plane has air stairs... it might be a regional jet."

If you look in the cockpit and think to yourself "is it bring your child to work day"... it might be a regional jet.

Anything with jet engines or more than 19 seats should be at mainline.

If your FO was born during the first Bush Presidency, you might be in an RJ

If your FO thinks Props are for boats, you might be in an RJ

If your FO has 250 hours, you might be in an RJ

if you're not supposed to flare until the last few feet... then you might be a regional jet (200)

If you have duck when you get in...It may be a regional jet.

If you only have one flight attendant...It may be a regional jet.

If a jumpseater cringes when he MUST ride in the cockpit...It may be a regional jet...or a 737.

If you only get a 5% override to fly 50 or more people...It may be a regional jet.

Flare? Who said anything about a flare? More like just arrest the descent and try to 3 point it.

Unfortunately, this doesn't really fit.... The Boeing 727 and the DC-9 had air stairs, but then again, I guess they were regional jets, just flown by mainline (read: fairly paid) pilots.

maybe:

"if your plane has gravity operated air stairs... it might be a regional jet."??
