    You Know Your On An RJ When.....

    When you can hear the F/O talking about how he cannot wait to hit the 500 hour mark

    When boarding the airplane involves getting soaked in the rain and than hitting your head on the door frame as you enter

    If a Honda Civic has bigger wheels than the nose gear

    When your Captain does not know how to recover from a stall

    If you look at the jumpseat and would rather sit in the last row because the shots you can put on JP just are not worth the chiropractic bill that will follow

    When the landing gear coming down makes the guy next to you piss himself (CRJ100/200)

    Judging by the typos, I'll assume you wrote this? ;)

    I like the 500-hour one. The stall one was maybe a little tateless. :-p

    found this on the expressjet pilot forums..... "When PAX are offered more in compensation for an oversold flight than the whole crew will make for working the flight."

    When you think you'll be more comfortable riding in the overhead compartment than in your seat.

    When you actually have more legroom, than headroom.

    you hear the cockpit alarms from the last seat

    The F/A's only need one pair of their shoes, FOR THEIR CAREER!

    When you move from the left window seat to the right, the pilot must re trim the aircraft

    Belt extenders not allowed, if anyone that can not fit in the seat uses a lav, the cg will be out of range!

    Swaying while singing 1000 bottles of beer is prohibited.

    If you take a series of shots in burst mode on a DSLR, one engine will immediately throttle down while the flight crew will try
    to find out what engine is making the noise!

    Carseats for children not needed on this flight!

    You can use a big rock for a chock

    Pilot and ramper are eye level
    The three most common expressions in aviation are, "Why is it doing that?", "Where are we?" and "Oh Crap".

    Re: You Know Your On An RJ When.....

    When you are taxiing around ORD and you think the MD-80 in front of you to depart seems big.... You are probably on an RJ.......



    When the captain asks three people to move to the last two rows for weight and balance or they are going to have to ask for volunteers you are probably on an RJ

    You know you are on an RJ when the FO says "That is Riddled out man" and the Captain actually laughs.

    Re: You Know Your On An RJ When.....

    when you have to have your window shades open for take off and landing...

    when it takes ten minutes to board and five to deplane and when the boarding process consists of boarding everyone at once...

    when all the pax can see the F/A in the jumpseat and have a conversation with him/her...

    when the jetway doesn't fully connect to the plane and they have to use that extra little ramp...
