Well I'm at Mesa, but I was flying around in a 200 one day and I noticed that placard, it must have been about 2-3 weeks ago. Finally today we get the memo. 200 is a flap extension speed, so I guess we can speed back up if we want.

At ASA we were told bombardier changed the recommendation of 200 to a limitation. This is a PITA because Atlanta routinely slows us to 210 on arrival and sometimes we maintain it onto the glideslope. They might also ask for an expedited descent at 210 for a short approach. When all you have is spoilers you don't get down as quick as they'd like.

We can only hope that SkyWest adopts 200 knots as well...it will keep those airplane-drivers (because they sure the heck aren't Pilots) from calling "Flaps 8, Flaps 20" right at 215 knots, giving everyone on board some nasty whip-lash
