Touchy! Are you an RJ pilot in your spare time?
I'm not going to inject my personal opinion here because, clearly, what any one of us consider a "real plane" is a matter of opinion. However, I will point out that even if one does not consider an RJ a "real plane", on DCA-JFK it almost doesn't matter.
Me? Tomorrow I'm going to fly 2+ hours on a Saab 340. When I get home, ask me if that was a "real plane"!
