AA used jetbridges for the ATR 72 in some locations. Did that require an adapter? That aircraft sat really low to the ground. Where? DFW for the short time of "Executive Eagle""? Flown a lot of ATRs and never seen a jetbridge attached to any. At MIA it was a prop farm, same in SJU. D...
Jump to postIt honestly depends on what the operator is willing to pay in equipment and training. There are jetbridges that are designed to come completely to the fuselage of the 145 without the adapter. They have a siding floor which covers the gap so no adapter is needed. But it comes down to a capital cost o...
Jump to postIt may not be the door. Does your G1 galley have a sink, if it does dump some water in it when you hear the sound and see what happens. If it stops or changes pitch its the drain valve leaking due to lower cabin pressure. Try pulling the drain valve knob to reseat it. As for the yaw, there is only ...

Jump to postAre you a FA? As a regular passenger on E175s that normally sits in first. row one I have never heard any noise from L1 or R1 doors.

Jump to postI work for a carrier that fairly recently acquired the EMB-175 and while writing on it I've noticed 2 things that over never got a answers for or multiple answers which sound plausible but can't find anything on the web to verify it.

Jump to postI don't know about freighters but back when my carrier operated turboprops both our Saab 340's and ATR's (both 42 and 72) our SOP was to keep everyone sitter until the tail stand was installed. While never heard of the Saab sitting on it's tail I've heard stories of the ATR 72 doing it in rare situa...

Jump to postI know on my carrier when we got the 175 they went for the option of splitting the cabin into 5 zones instead of 3 on our other RJ's. I was told it was done this way to limit the chances of having to move paxs out of the premium out of their seats for cg. So far between that, however the gate comput...
Jump to postBasically yes. How the gates are currently situated the 175's wingspan (especially the newer ones with the more outward canted winglets) would overlap the adjoining gates in G. It could be remedied by removing some gate by eliminating the A/B gate (i.e. G6 instead of G6A and G6B) but you'll loose a ...
Jump to postThis was a while back but I flew into LNK back in 04 on an AE E145 from ORD. When did they stop service? I recall being one of only a dozen or so pax on the RJ in and even less on the way back to ORD so I'm guessing it wasn't a very profitable route. AE did it for about a year or less, worked out o...
Jump to postI flew the Embraer 145 for 7 years and we all complained about the noise to the manufacturer who had frequent "road shows" in our crew rooms.
