I'm leaning towards it being a faulty wire.

I had a car do exactly that once. It turned out to be a faulty circuit or chip in the computer that controls the engine. Cost a small fortune to get it fixed.

Look for a private sale message.

Yep. The original OS that was on mine would cause my battery to last no more than 5-6 hours when fully charged. There were a number of other minor issues as well, particularly with the media player. After I upgraded the OS, problems were gone, and battery life suddenly became decent.

Grr. 48 day/hour delivery times. :mad::mad:

What's the threshold between 24 and 48, 100 seats?

CRJs are 24 hours, Avros and up are 48, something over Airbus 320 is 72 hours....

Anyone want a gently used CRJ-100ER?

I'd be interested in one or more, once my on-hand cash comes back up in about 4 hours.

Hmm, my B752 is only on 48 hours and it's 238 seats. Just wondering if I should have gone for the 146-100 instead of the -300 since it has less than 100 seats...

for the price, it doesn't pay off to get it faster. IMO.

Personally I love the -300 model, I am standardizing on it.

All of the Avro RJ and BAe 146 variants are 48 hours. I tried earlier to order the smaller 146 and it quoted me 48 hours. So I sucked it up and went for a DC-9-50 instead.

I do to as well, but the range on it kind of sucks.

Yep it is regional after all, if 1700 miles isn't enough get something bigger :D I am about to try out an airbus A320, the MD-87 sucked.
in some ways I wish more US airlines used this Avro/BAE plane, it was much better than the RJs we've got flying the skies here now (with exception of Ejets and new CSeries)

I noticed KNRG figured out my long-haul small aircraft and ordered one. ;)

What would that be? The ultra-long haul verison of the CRJ?
