I've sat in both, and the Embraer is definitely a more comfortable ride.
3-1 Seating.
Windows you can actually look out of.
The F/A can actually control the temperature in the cabin.
And as far as the performance issues, well, let me put it to you this way,
we use to do COS (Colorado Springs for the non airline folks), and in the summer with an XR we would still be take-off limited due to the high density.
CHQ is going to run it now with a CRJ-200 (not an LR either), how do you think that's going to go?

And for christ's sake, how many times does it need to be stated?
When somebody is on travelocity/orbitz/cheaptickets, ect and are comparing prices, do you really think that they ACTUALLY look at the aircraft type that the $20-30 cheaper option flys?

Regardless, I can't believe you're even arguing this, they both suck. It's an RJ for christ sakes. Your airplane is better than mine, sweet! We both get paid peanuts to operate them. Let it go.

Are you sure you sat in the ERJ? I believe it's 2-1 seating.

No one is arguing how customers book their flights; we're talking about their comfort. The 200 is a piece of sh!t. They did make some improvements with the 700/900, but the seating arrangement still sucks. And by the way the business travelers, you know the 15% that generates 60% of the revenue, they know the difference.

OK bud, whatever you say. 3-1 huh? I was referring to the ERJ's Express Jet operates, which are 2-1 seating.

I fly one for a living, and yes I meant 2-1.

XJET operated CRJ's and still had the ontime and completion factor we do know.
MESA operated all ERJ's with all their operational/performace issues and high cancellation rate.
If you were a frequent flier/business traveller, would you still take a CRJ over the ERJ?

Wow, what a coincidence. I fly one for a living also. For the same crap wage you do, well, I'm senior to you so maybe a little more for now. If you want to try to impress me AGAIN and get into a pi$$ing match AGAIN about who has been working in this industry longer AGAIN, we can.
While you might have been a pilot longer than I have, that does not give you more right to an opinion. Impress you? NO, not unless you have double D's, and a great ass to go with it.
