You're probably right. Burns less than half of what those 145s burn and seat 24 more pax (not so bad with the price of oil these days, heck even taking some flying out of IAD from you boys. on the flip side, we can also bid across equipment from Saabs-Q's-CRJ 2-900 not too bad for those with SJS here.

THE ERJ 50 seater burns about 1200-1300/side in cruise, thats about 2600/ttl even heavy its under 3000/pd hr ttl in cruise, and goes WAY faster. So do not say it burns 1/2 less than the ERJ, it burns about the same, and its NOT a f'in PROP.
It also doesn't have a history of putting holes in the Buffalo suburbs from poor hiring and training. So get off your horse and stop posting on here that your going to take over everyone's flying.
FYI this is at luv not the guy I quoted.

I think that market is going to cars. It is not 2000-2007. The ERJ on the 300 mile flight goes to 19k, and takes 8 minutes to get there. It burns about 3000/pbs hr in cruise at 19k. Gets there in 35 min. Burns like 2300 pds total.

Agreed. It was low-rent and had nothing to do with the discussion. The buffalo accident could have occured in any type of aircraft including a ERJ.

depends which, if they have the heavy weight mod then no they rarely are.
Well can the Q go from EWR to BOS at FL190 at 320 KTs indicated, get to cruise in 10 min, and offer the joy of a jet.

Not sure if I'm tired, but how did you get 8 minutes to fly 300 miles?

8 minutes at climb thrust TO GET TO FL190, its about 39min total flight time to the destination. That burns maybe 3500 pds hr, then at that point we cruise along at 2900/lb hour and 320 kts.
