I can't complain...it's all new to me, but I'm having a ton of fun. 175 knot headwind today coming back from PWM, so that made for a long flight, esp. after having to wait to get de-iced....but once the door is closed..$$$$$ |
the 175 climbs like a dog compaired to the 170, which you would except with a 3500lb higher MTOW and the same wing on both airframes, unlike the 190/195.
the worst part about the plane is the damn pilot seat!! the saab was more comfortable. they need to throw some lazy boys up in there!
be careful on those PHL-IAH/DFW flights, you get stronger headwinds and storms that pop-up down south and youll be diggin into your RSV fuel.
