This is going to be a great thread. GREAT thread, I tell you.

Why do people care what they fly? In the end if they pay me appropriately and I do not have to commute, I'll flying a GD Metroliner for all it's worth. Turboprop, back-mounted jets, wing mounted jets, auto-throttles, who cares. It's just a freaking job. As long as you dont hate your life at it, forget about it when you are with your family and it allows you to have a good QOL, screw the rest. Do office workers ask if they like one cubical better than the other?

As far as engines under the wings go, I don't see the appeal. On the 175 I can't imagine you could cross-control very much during a crosswind landing, or you'd get an engine strike. Those engines look like they're just ready to eat some pavement.

Of course, I've never flown one, so I speak from a position of ignorance. Any -175 drivers on here who can tell us?

16-18° depending on strut compression. Quite a bit more than you'd think by just looking at it.
