The longest one I have personally been on was XNA-MIA, but I don't think they offer that flight anymore. It wasn't too bad, but would definitely have preferred a larger plane.

I once spent about six hours on a RJ. Around two hours for the BOS-YYZ flight and four hours in the penalty box waiting for the lightning to pass YYZ so we could move to a gate.

I'm scheduled for a 2+ hour run from BOS - RDU next week in an ER-140. Really dreading it; but the alternative was a DL CR100.

BOS-STL will certainly be up there come 4/6/10. Not looking forward to those flights; will probably just route through ORD to avoid the RJs.

My longest RJ segment was XNA-LAX nonstop, 1371 miles, and over 3 hour block time. An interesting side note was that Air Force One was at XNA when we were there (although it wasn't officially designated Air Force One for that flight). It was early in the Bush administration, and he lent it to Ex-President Clinton to fly to the dedication (or possibly cornerstone-laying) of his presidential library. A 747 on the tarmac at XNA looked pretty large. Our flight left 25 minutes early, as all the passengers were at the gate and could get on, and they were about to close the airport to takeoffs and landings for an hour so Clinton could leave, so we either left early or late.

My longest was in 2007 doing MCI-RDU (remember that route?) at 904 miles.
Also, to pbjag, BOS-RDU on a ERJ isn't bad. It's 612 miles and doesn't clock in at 2 hours.
