Wow - I didn't know that B9 did that. I'm learning alot on this site!! I would think an ERJ would be a little uncomfortable - 3 1/2 hour flight. I wonder which runway is shorter - BUR or SNA? I have experienced taking off and landing at SNA and it was much more of a dramatic ascent taking off than I have experienced at SNA. I do rememeber a few years ago a Southwest plane landing could not stop in time and rolled off the runway, through a fence and into a gas station. YIKES!
