When SKW was considering jumping on the e-jet bandwagon about ten years ago they realized the CRJ burned about 15% less gas, so they passed on the e-jet at the time. In 2008 that looked a good move... with fuel prices up and the economy down every gallon counted. But I think the majors just finally decided to eat the fuel delta because their customers hate little jets.
New production e-jets may be more fuel efficient, IDK.

Fuel Burn seems to be the same as CRJ 700. 1000 lbs more payload.

Nothing to see here... it's not that it didn't perform drug tests, just that some minimum wage employee down in SGU failed to make sure they were included in the pool of employees available for randoms.

Haven't seen you post the route map lately, how are you satisfying that itch? Or are you still over blowing up the Envoy/Compass threads?

I'll spare everyone the soul drain and leave you more room on here to drop your nuggets of knowledge.

So do you have a big blown up version of it hanging above your bed on your ceiling to help start your wet dreams of Skywest dominating the world with RJ's?
