Got a great laugh a few years back in GSP as I watched the look
on the faces of each of the 18 Amazons from a girl's college
basketball team as they turned down the aisle of a CRJ
Didn't know about the 1000 or the C though
Miss the Fokker Friendships (decent small jets)
I think Embraer is also bringing out a new mid jet
Oh, the larger CRJs aren't too bad.....in fact, the CRJ 705 operated by AC (it's basically a version of the CRJ 900) is kinda nice with an F cabin, extra legroom in Y and AVOD at all seats.
You're also probably thinking about the Fokker F-28 "Fellowship" twinjet as the F-27 "Friendship" is a turboprop. Horizon Air operated the F-28 for quite awhile - I flew on it many times. Fokker also manufactured the F-100 twinjet (operated by AA among other carriers before it was phased out of their fleet) and the smaller F-70 twinjet (which was operated by Mesa as America West Express here in the U.S.). The F-100 and F-70 were direct descendants of the F-28. And then Fokker went out of business and ceased to exist......
