So I'm on my way from EWR to BHM via Continental Express and I notice as we taxi out for T/O is that a majority of the aircraft are taxing on one engine including us. In fact we don't even have flaps down until we're third in line. After T/O the flaps go up at around two or three thousand feet. Is this normal for an Embraer? Maybe, we weren't even 1/2 full. Then when we land, no reverse thrust. Two other things. It took us over 2 1/2 hpurs to travel 850 miles and after we landed we were held in the tarmac for thirty minutes because of delayed loading Embraer.
Btw, I noticed a BBJ on the North end of EWR. It looked of Arabic orgin. Green and black pin stripes, sattelite bumps all over the top of the fuselage. Any emirs visiting?
