Pretty much sums it up - when are you jet homos gonna make the trasition to talking beer and liquor like they did in the prop thread.

Nailed it, CE750. Now lets go have a Guinness! :D

You must know me and my good friend Andy.. that's our favorite drink!

Lets!

btw... my MD-11 is faster and climbs better than your CRJ and ERJ, so nanny nanny nanny.... :D

Oh yeah? Well I'll bet you can't go from high school dropout to "professional" MD-11 pilot in just 90 days, for a mere $50,000.

But you can be a RJ driver!:eek:

CE, are you at FDX??

Yeah- your MD11 may be be faster and climb better... but I bet you don't qualify for free foodstamps!! :p :D

Well, with GAC's last TA he just might qualify for food stamps.

I'm kidding, I'm not slamming GAC or it's pilots. But that last contract is pretty crappy. Considering it was settled while the company was in Ch.11, they were not really going to get what they wanted/derserved.

That's true... $45/hr to start and $64 2nd year is pretty pathetic of an 11, but there are other pluses, like home base and good schedule (in terms of days off).

But they were in BK at the time of that contract negotiation so we can only hope it gets better in a couple of years when they reopen wage talks. Truth be told, we've lost some 30+ pilots (including captains) to UPS and Fedex in the last few months, so I'm sure something may have to change if they want to arrest the exodus.

The CRJ-700 can cruise at 390 to 410 at .83 with power to spare. Might have to reduce climb to 500fpm at these altitudes especially atg max weight on takeoff (75,000lbs.) Probably one of the best performing regional jets out there. (Southwest was even looking at them a short time ago) The 200 is a dog, especially after FL260. Would like to hear about the ERJ -170.

Everybody knows the CRJ is better!

As long as there's no more than 25 pax on board! Ala Chautauqua! :p


Time to stir the $hit again. :D
