That’s what they said about the Titanic, “unsinkable”. I’m blaming nothing and no one, just keep that option open. CRJ wings are one of the stiffest in the airliner industry, they don’t have much give and doesn’t handle turbulence well, even the most minor of bumps gets quite uncomfortable on a CRJ.

That is true, and on a CRJ most of the flight we had to stay in our seat. But Qthey can handle turbulence.

There are several incidents and accidents with CRJs. They are very prone to wing contamination(ice/snow) especially on take off. That said, there is so far no report of icing conditions in this accident.

How about we wait for the accident report? I’m sure the black boxes must have been recovered by now.

First Class on a commercial CRJ-200? What is that, like coach on a 737? What airline makes money doing that?

:D, economy comfort on delta, so literally just one extra inch of seat pitch, and quicker service. So the least they could do.

Relax… By that logic, then every CRJ that takes off in the snow would crash. Have you seen a news bulletin declaring dozens of CRJs have crashed because they were flying and it was snowing?

I’ve flown on multiple US AIrways Express CRJ-200s in winter when it was snowing, and am I dead?

Yes, you are dead. (btw is was kinda a joke, i know i wont die lol.)

You’ll be fine, that’s what de-ice trucks are there for. I am in Canada, plenty of CRJs flying out in the snow, haven’t had one fall out of the sky this year so far.

Again, it was a joke, I take many flights a year.

It is true, The longest deicing I have seen was on a crj-200. It was also above 0c.

You clearly haven’t seen people applying type IV and type II fluid to a A380.
