Embraer Questions
Having made over 100 flights with BMI on EMB 135/145's, I have had only one serious delay and one cancellation due to technical problems - a good performance, but comfort-wise I preferred the Fokker 100s (where are they now?), but what do the professionals think to these aircraft?
From time to time, passengers have been requested to move seats due to 'the trim of the aircraft@ Most recently, two passengers were asked to move from row 7 to 18 as the "aircraft is out of trim" according to the CC. Given the amount of power involved, and the relative weights of the passengers compared with the aircraft, why is this necessary? Incidentally, I noticed prior to boarding on the last occasion that the rear tailplane was already pointed down to force maximum 'nose up'.
