-900ER vs -900 difference:
Increased MTOW to from 174K to 188K
Engine rated at 28,400lbs vs 27,300lbs
Increased range (hence ER Extended Range) from 2,700NM to 3,200NM
Longer and stronger wingspan by about 4.5 feet to accommodate for new MTOW
Cruse Speed M0.791 vs M0.785
Improved leading and trailing edge flap systems

This is not Nam Smokey.
REMF: Remaining Fuel At touchdown expressed in endurance time and pounds of fuel. ...is what I meant. Just curious.

That's exactly what it is. Can't dispatch if landing weight is above single engine, ice penalty applied wave off ability weight limit if known freezing precip... Or something to that effect. Not sure if it applies to other Boeings (I've only flown the guppy, it has no tail anti ice), but Ive seen as much as 10k lbs.
811 would be a brand new 900ER.
In the event they filled it, you iced up, lost an engine, and had to wave off.... You woulda been screwed! Otherwise it's a great airplane 99% of the time. Just takes forever to load/unload. Had 188 SOB one the other day.

I had a very interesting discussion with a retired Boeing engineer on a flight a while back. Apparently, something very similar to what happened at UAL also happened to Boeing. When Boeing bought McDonnell Douglas, the McD management largely took over Boeing. According to him, the 787 debacle is largely due to their gross mismanagement. Sound familiar?

Do you have the numbers to back up your statements or is it your gut instinct? That record profit that was linked was for Q3 2014. Prior to fuel price decline. Our December RPM's were up slightly on 2.3% ASM increase. LF declined 1.9% due to the larger increase in ASM versus December "13. So overall we put more people in seats in December '14 versus "13. The numbers don't reflect those droves you mention.

From: 7ER B...whatever that means.
I think calling a -900 an RJ is a little insulting to the RJ, don't you think? I mean, in 8 years of RJ flying I have never ever ever had to leave ~6% of my revenue seats empty because a weight restriction!
