Routes the CRJ and EMB135/145 should not fly
 
I will start.........Comair, Skywest, Freedom all fly DAY-CVG with the crj and emb....I dont know the loads on this route but I think a turboprop would be better on this 15 minute flight. Maybe ASA can bring the ATRs back and fly this route.

Comair does JFK-DFW in the crj9. I know the plane has the range but as a passenger 3 hours in a crj is a tad but uncomfortable.

I have flown DAY-CVG

In a CRJ in 12:37 the record lol

CVG-LEX about the same 12:30
JFK-PHL I hold the record from gate to gate in 25 minutes

Anything over 2 hours. 3 hours is ridiculous even if it is a 900.

For example:
ORD-SLC or
SLC-DFW

I remember one from way back.

IAH-CLL 14 minutes

My longest route in the 700 was going from DEN-ATL

And in the 200 was from ORD-PHX

Did JFK-ORD several times in the -200, including a deadhead once which was not very comfortable. Figured that should've been a mainline route. CVG-DAY, LEX, etc were always fun, no down time there!

JFK to AUS in the 900. Any weather and the aircraft has to stop in route for fuel. That looks mighty stupid in the eyes of the passengers. Had one flight there where we blocked over 8 hours on the one leg due to delays at JFK. Nice to sit 8 hours in an RJ.

DTW-FNT CR9, last time I flew it was 10 min enroute.

Ont-lax
 
ONT-LAX 0:09 mins. Departure "intercept the localizer on runway heading." Good luck with all the check lists guys.

IAH-ORD, ATL, DFW...Flights between the ten busiest airports in the United States should be on mainline aircraft.


All times are GMT -8. The time now is 02:57 AM.
