E-Jets
got a ride on one of the shiny new e-jets on Monday coming down from Edinburgh on BA8703. The cabin feels a lot smaller than the old RJs. The seats are fine, only two either side of the aisle. Think there were only two cabin crew, rather than the normal three on the RJ.
On the descent into LCY the wing spoilers partially extend all the way down the glideslope which seems to cause a bit of vibration in the cabin. We hit the runway with a thump that caused some of the overhead bins to spring open and the woman next to me say a rude word..
Thought the crew might have mentioned it was a new jet, but they did not say anything.
Will have to see how they cope with operations into LCY. . but looks good so far...
