Flying on this aircraft next week

[ThePresence]

Well, not THE same one, same model airplane though. Embraer 190.

Google images shows me this and this.

Article

Now I'm scared.

UPDATE: I survived! Sorry guys.

 

[destrekor]

good luck! :laugh:

seriously, the article states it slid off the runway during an emergency landing. Not exactly ideal. And looks in good shape!

Let's just hope you're not flying on the same airliner.

 

[GagHalfrunt]

It didn't burst into flames, that's a good thing.

 

[gsethi]

you know...there must be a reason why that plane is small (People try to avoid them )

 

[crab]

Hey, atleast it isnt a CRJ.

 

[Brainonska511]

Eh. I fly on E-170s all the time - Delta's shuttle from Chicago Midway to LaGuardia. Never had a problem and prefer them over the 737s that are used for that route because of the lack of a middle seat.

 

[Kntx]

In the realm of smaller jets it's a comfortable plane. Like the other guy said, at least it's not a CRJ!

 

[Baked]

Looks like it'll get blown up by portable rocket launcher.

 

[PottedMeat]

Can I have your stuff?

 

[Bootprint]

Check here, seems like a boring plane.

This is LaGuardia to Toronto Pearson.

It shouldn't be that bad. It might be classified as a regional jet, but if the E190s are set up the same as the E170s, then you should have about as much leg room in coach as you would in a normal sized aircraft, like a 737. The other nice thing about these shuttle jets is they don't have tiny overhead compartments, you can fit a full sized carry-on in the bins.

Don't feel bad. Buddy of mine, years ago, traveled Alaska Airlines from SeaTac to LAX, right after the MD80 plane went down due to a jammed horizontal stabilizer problem, on it's way back to the states from Mexico. His flight down was on a 737.......but his flight back was going to be on an MD80!! He kept rescheduling his flight back, they kept giving him flights on the MD80's!! LOL

He finally got a flight, 2 days after his original return date, on another 737. No way was he going to fly on a plane that had just gone down!!

 

[gooseman]

Hope you have a will! :Q

 

[Rubycon]

You will be in trouble if you're going to be flying on any plane. I abhor flying but when I have to do it I'm definitely going to be inside the blasted plane.

Of course it could always be worse. :laugh:

Sorry guys.

 

[George P Burdell]

Try flying on one of these being flown Ethiopian Airlines, then come back.

 

[daveshel]

Compared to a 737 it leaps off the runway. Much more comfortable as well. I've had great experiences with Embraers.
