You don't fly much do you? If I can avoid a CRJ/ERJ or some prop by all means I will.Gawwad wrote:

You pretty much sound like it if you avoid certain aircraft types and/or manufacturers. I'd say you should just forget that and give it a try, you'd be surprised.usmarine wrote:

lol I have been in the aviation industry for many years. I avoid those types because they are uncomfortable and annoying.Ioan92 wrote:

Oh really? What company? By comfort I'd say that its the carrier that you should look for, not the aircraft. Also what do you exactly mean by annoying?usmarine wrote:

No...a CRJ sucks. Way too small and cramped. Plus they have no first class option so...Ioan92 wrote:

They would have had to go through some extreme weather for that to happen

No, not tons -- a 777 weighs more than that *empty*. If you look at the video at 1:22, the readout on the left is the percentage of design limit (127%). The right is probably the tonnage (2256).
If we divide that moment by the 777-300's max take-off weight of 387.5 short (US) tons, that's simulating about 5.8gs of force -- putting the design limit at around 4.6gs, and expected approximate breaking point at 6.8gs, and the actual breaking point at about 7.2gs.
Are you sure?
That's Lufthansa, its not even first class.

Funny saying Marine is scared of flying. If I remember correctly he's a pilot...
Whoa... Can't believe these forums are still kicking.
700, ill find you a 200 then..usmarine wrote:

A 100 here
And a 200
I've been on LH CRJ's and there awsm. I'd really say that it all matters in the carrier you choose... If you choose a prestigious company like Lufthansa, you will obviously be welcomed with better comfort and such rather than the cattle treatment you will receive from low costs, although some are relatively comfortable.
Also, marine are you a commercial pilot?

used to be until somone jizzed in his eye he got an eye infection.
Blackbelts are just whitebelts who have never quit.
No, seriously.
ugh.....I would say search but that would be pointless.
I was a pilot until a eye disease showed up preventing me from keeping a 1st class medical certificate, which meant I could no longer captain a Part 121 (airline) flight. So, I became a airplane mechanic. Then after a while became a flight dispatcher. Now I am a flight operations supervisor for a Delta Airlines connection carrier.

That's... sad. I feel for you, I'm planning to be an aviator..... Hope all goes smoothly.usmarine wrote:

You can't always choose what you fly anyway, you take the flight that best suits your time (or budget).
I called them Scarebus.....Gawwad wrote:

I choose on comfort though. I would fly on a A330 tomorrow..or a 767. I was simply saying that I would choose a later/early flight if it was a bigger aircraft versus a CRJ/ERJ or prop.
Of course you would, but I did say manufacturer in the post you quoted, didn't I?usmarine wrote:

I was thinking of the JAL flight that lost its tail cone and most of the vertical stabilizer when its aft bulkhead burst due to improper maintenance. It usually isn't just one thing that goes wrong. It is always a chain of events.TPM-J45P3R- wrote:

The company received an 'electrical fault' signal as well as a 'loss of cabin pressure' alarm. And the plane was flying over/through a region of intense cumulonimbus activity. There was no mayday.
The US economy is a giant Ponzi scheme. And 'to big to fail' is code speak for 'niahnahniahniahnah 99 percenters'
