I flew on the CRJ-200 from DAL-DEN on sat and man was that thing raggedy! Paint was peeling off the wings etc. It’s in battleship scheme. It was a big change from CO ERJs. I made plenty of videos and they will be up soon.

There is only 1 CRJ-200 between DAL-IAH each way. One does IAH-DAL-DEN and the other does DEN-DAL-IAH. Then the rest are ERJs and Q400. There is an ExpressJet ERJ that does DEN-DAL-IAH and another that does IAH-DAL-DEN. Another thing about these flight are the crew have to be CO one flight and UA the next. Gate agent at DAL was saying these are the most confusing to work. The flight to DEN was full!

I like the ERJ the best but I would take the ERJ or Q400. Q400 has always had full beverage service and uses terminal A in IAH which is so much better than the zoo they call Terminal B.

A DFW bound ERJ diverted to DAL today and some people got off. Then the flight went to DFW after being furled. My IAH-DAL flight on an ERJ took almost 1.30h to get to DAL.

Something interesting news… I was told the number of CO/UA flights at DAL will be 26 by years end. DAL will have service to all CO/UA main hubs. They will operated using 3 gates. Use the two the have plus one of AAs.^
