There's a reason they are called REGIONAL jets. Not INTERCONTINENTAL
jets. Please to be taking note of this. (DFW-RDU in a CRJ-200: ugh) |

(DFW-RDU in a CRJ-200: ugh) A couple years ago, I thought it would be nice to fly United from Madison to San Francisco by way of Denver instead of Chicago. I got two regional jets instead of a puddle-jumper and a 777. Yay!! Jon -- "It seems all you can do is step on our collective joy whenever Canada achieves a milestone in sports." - rob |

All Delta flights are required by FAA regualations to at least touch-and-go at ATL prior to arriving at their final destination. Lots of airlines are moving routes that used to be served by medium sized Boeing aircraft to these little CRJs and ERJs. Boston-Raleigh and Orlando- Raleigh is about my tollerance for those elf sized seats. Ottawa-Raleigh in a CRJ is not fun. |

Actually, I just went on the Delta web-site and got a flight that goes directly from RDU to DFW.

Nope, direct flight, including boarding and taxi time over 2.5 hours in that cramped little thing. Yes it was a full flight. It's not only that the seats are smaller. The windows are down at my chest, so it's even a strain to just look out the damb window in those things. I don't remember American Eagle's EMB RJ's being this bad, but the longest flight I've had in one of those was about 40 minutes (RDU-DCA) so maybe if I'd been in it long enough it would seem as bad. Actually, I just went on the Delta web-site and got a flight that goes directly from RDU to DFW. Was it a CRJ? |

Transcontinental really would involve NC to DFW To me, that implies going across a lot more of the continent. What was the flight time, like 2 hours? |
