Go for it. I need those 2675 RDMs, 1,189 EQMs, and 2 EQPs.

While you're at it, get them to give me some bonus EQMs for having to fly a Chautauqua CRJ for one segment on that trip. In fact, I suggest the following compensation, effective immediately, from now until the CRJs are gone from COEX for good:
  • A 50% EQM bonus for flying a Chautauqua-operated CRJ on a COEX branded flight.
  • Another 50% EQM bonus if that CRJ is an ex-Comair plane, with the really hard and uncomfortable black seats.
  • Another 50% EQM bonus if Chautauqua drags out a CRJ that is not fully painted in the COEX livery. It's ridiculous that Chautauqua still has one or two of those, especially considering those planes have been flying for CO for over a year now, and that Chautauqua flies CRJs only for CO.

Can anyone confirm whether the ER4's operated by AA (Eagle) are a different model than CO's 145 and 145XRs? I'm thinking of flying back from JAN in September by flying JAN-DFW-IAH (on a mix of AA and CO). If it's a new flightmemory line and a new model, I'm on it.

Different model?

The ER4s are ERJ-145s, COEx managed to squeeze in an extra row.

I thought they operated both ERJ-140s and ERJ-145s, and that ER4 designated an ERJ-140.

The 140s show up as ERDs.

I just confirmed this looking at a DFW-LBB ticket.

P.S. - It looks like AA is operating AT7s to LBB in November :eek:

Actually the ERJ4s have 50 seats in exactly the same configuration as COEX's ERJ-145s. Now if the AA schedule says "ERD," then the plane is an ERJ-140, which are a shrunken version of the ERJ-145 with two fewer rows, for a total of 44 seats.

Yeah, it's the darn row 13 thing that threw me off.

I listed my old iPhone on eBay this afternoon and it sold about an hour later! :eek: I got a good amount of money for it but I suppose my asking price was still a bit on the low side.

In the end, I still made money and ended up with a faster phone. ^

Funny you should mention that - I was just informed that I may have to go to JAN next month.

AA has been operating CR7s on about half its LBB flights for some time now. I guess they're going to switch to some AT7s to keep the capacity but lower the operating expenses. If it does happen, this will be the first time LBB has seen scheduled turboprop service in a long time.

I guess I'm surprised because of the past experience with AT7s and ice.

I'm still waiting for my flights from last Wednesday to post, nevermind anything more recent. I'm starting to get a little worried..

If anyone ends up storming the HQ, I'll be there in spirit. 2hrs on a Chautauqua ERJ LIT-CLE should be enough justification to claim extra compensation for pain and suffering.

Yeah, and it was my understanding that years ago when AA pulled the AT7s out of DFW and ORD and put them down in MIA and SJU that the icing issues were a part of that.
