Most of my flying these days is confined to major hubs ( ORD-LAX, ORD-BOS, ) and, the aircraft are small enough ( those MD80′s American uses on the LAX run are its “take” from the TWA acquisition, I believe, and I rue the day… Retire those old guys, already!).

I have flown in some small aircraft though; prop-jet to Kalamazoo; and once on a corporate prop job to St. Louis, but not this latest Bombardier/Embraer generation.

Thanks for your comment.
