I worked at American when Eagle was deciding to acquire ERJs or CRJs. We conducted test flights with two groups, one on each aircraft. Mission was to evaluate the ride, confirm, overheads, window views, lavs, noise, etc...Each group would evaluate the flight, then we landed at the destination (can't remember if it was ABI or somewhere further) and swap aircraft to evaluate the other brand. The ERJ won hands-down.
Hi Christy,
Thanks for putting this excellent video together. Having been a miniscule part of the AE3007 engine program, I am very proud to see this aircraft complete every American Eagle/Envoy flight safely. This is a testament to the suppliers, EMBRAER, pilots and maintainers...job well done! Living in Indianapolis (KIND), this aircraft was the gateway to the world in my travels. Yes, a tear was shed here as well.
🥲
This is a wonderful contribution to our aircraft knowledge Christy. Well-researched and lucidly told. Thanks very much!
Hello Christy.
As a southamerican guy, I can´t be more proud on what my neighbours had accomplished in the aviation industry.
The way you told the story of this particular EMB145 was heartwarming; it oozed respect and simpathy. When the final watter cannon salute was done, I yeald WHO THE HECK IS CHOPPING ONIONS!!! (just kidding).
As always, cheers from NE Patagonia, Argentina. BTW: Marry Chrismas and HNY to you, Dan, your family and friends.
You too Walter!!
Porque não tem mais tradução?
Scope clause doesn't limit planes IN the fleet, it limits OUTsourcing. Airlines don't need to play games with the scope clause to optimize their operations they just need to be willing to put pilots on THEIR OWN payroll
Labor contracts have dictated airplane designs for decades. Why would an airline pay for something when they can get it at 1/2 the cost? This is a no-brainer.
👍✅ For a gringa your pronunciation wasn't bad Christy. LOL Nice report.
😂
i flew on the 120 many times for work along the west coast in the 80s , small but felt solid....over the years the 145 was/is a regular sight at my home field KAZO...amazing experience Christy..thank you for sharing
I was at the Embraer factory (picking up a Brasilia) when the “prototype” with wing-mounted engines was on the ramp. There was also a EMB-123 (shortened Brasilia with aft-mounted pusher -10 Garrett turboprop engines) there.
What are great story. Thank you so much for sharing this.
Swayne Martin made me fall in love with the 145. I guess my plan now to fly the 175 when I get to envoy 😅
I worked with XJT from 2000 to 2020 as a mechanic. It was a great plane to work on. I love how it was built like a tank! I know just about every inch of that plane! Miss working on it!
That’s an impressive history. And thanks for sharing 😊
Love the content.
Thank you
Hey Christina, great video and nice to see you again.
The EMB-135, 140, 145 were much more comfortable/nicer for passengers than the CRJ-200, especially the windows for passenger, but the A seat was the best of window and aisle seats combined.
Well done Christy
I dropped a C-130E off at Davis Monthan AFB back in 2008. I was still in training, so the full experience was a bit buried under all the things I was trying to remember. But I remember walking off the plane and saying something along those lines. I don't remember the words, and I doubt anyone else heard it, but it was a cool, fun, sad, unique experience I'll never forget.
Hi Christy! Seu português está muito bom! Or, your portuguese is very good! Well, I think that Embraer was created in 1969, by aeronautical engineer Ozires Silva. Brazil had a long tradition of building aircrafts, some under license. As happened with the NA-T6, by the time of WWII. Good to know you like to fly Embraers!! Hey, do you believe that the great Jimmy, from Jimmy's world, will make it to Oshkosh next year, with his Elvis's Lockheed Jetstar RV?!? We do hope he will be able to do that! Thank you for sharing this lovely video!!
Excellent video Christy. Very informative and well put together. If im not mistaken, i flew on an American Eagle 145 about 9 years ago. A quick trip from DFW to LIT. It was a nice little jet, fast as well. The only problem i had with it was the ceiling height. At 6'4" I had to duck to walk through the cabin. Lol. Thank you for the history of the iconic little 145. Keep up the excellent work. Safe skies my friends 🇺🇸🛩️
I love the window and aisle seat.
Why not post the full video of your JS flight? I spent 7.5 years flying that thing for Eagle, would be nice to see a jumpseat view of the final flight.
Great video! The only thing you failed to mention is that the 145 is a FAR better looking regional jet than the 175.
Them fightin' words!
Hello from Minnesota
Great video👍
Had my first flight on a Loganair ERJ145 this year, as they are a very rare bird in the European skies.
Its like steeping onboard a GA Aircraft, the E-Jets are more like every other airliner out there.
At 09:15 seeing our old Air Greenland A330 “Norsaq” with her engines removed 😢❤
Range was certainly an issue with the ERJ145. In summer, fuel density limited the amount of fuel you could take onboard. Flights from IND to MIA often requested fuel loads slightly higher than the fuel tanks could hold in summer. (I am not sure if the flight dispatch software took fuel density into account?) In the winter months it was not an issue. With the ERJ175, range is no longer an issue. The ERJ175s never leave with full tanks, as it's not needed..
I used to fly out of Killeen on the Rio Bandeirantes and then Brasilias. When the 145 arrived, it became the first regional jets flying into Dallas. My favorite regional is now the 175 and I hope they stick around for a long time. CRJ 700s suck!
We all can't wait to see you flying a Boeing or an Airbus in the future Christy...... :)
As a pretty tall guy, I love the single left seat in the 145, even if I have to bend over while walking through the aircraft lol.
Thanks Christy! I love the history of this RJ!
Scope clause is the same reason why Chorus Aviation (Jazz Aviation/ Air Canada Express) had to name the CRJ-900 as the CRJ-705. It's the same plane, just capped in passenger capacity.
Was it flown to Kingman, AZ? Lots of them stored there
Quite a saccharine video. (former Eagle 145 Captain)
I made many trips on a 145 out of DFW.
I like the one Make/Model airlines.
Hello Christy, Thank you for the great video.. I am soon going to be enrolling for a Type Rating for the EMB-145 and could use some advice on what material to use to get ahead prior to class date, I have access to 3 volumes on Avionics, AFM VOL 1 & 2, AOM VOL1 & 2, PRIMUS 1000, SOP, DDPM &MMEL and a couple more all adding up to over 10,000 page of overwhealming information. Given your great experience, Please advice what material from the aformentioned books should I refer to get a good start prior to my class date. Thank you
Retirement??? What's replacing the 145? BTW, First
Oops, should have watched to then end, now I know who replaced the 145
Envoy is going all E175s
And, unlike the CRJ, it had a usable jumpseat!
LOT? Lima Oscar Tango, of course!
It's pronounced just 'lot', which is 'flight' in Polish
Thank you! I’m terrible with foreign pronunciations 😂
The real question is why does AA still have three wholly-owned subsidiary!? This would be a little bit more sentimental if it was actually last 145 eagle flight! Hopefully the regionals just go away and be fully absorbed into mainline.
My brother flew the 175 for Delta - that's the airplane that helped him get enough PIC turbine hours to get his job with Atlas flying the 747. He spoke VERY highly of the 175 and said it was probably the most advanced regional jet out there. He liked it better than the 737.
how long did he fly the 175 at Delta for before moving on to Atlas ? incredible! what did he do prior to Delta regional to get his 1500 hours?
@@KuostA My brother started off with the Lear 31/35 doing air ambulance work. He had 1500 hours in that before he went to Delta (Compass). It was a long journey!!
woww....and what did he do prior to getting the lear job? CFI? on the pathway trying to pursue that dream myself right now.@@RealRickCox
@@KuostA Like a lot of people pursuing the career in flying... he started off instructing, then went to cargo and flew the Metro. While he was doing the multi time, he was getting his degree through Emery Riddle. He built enough multi-engine time and that's how he landed the gig with the air ambulance company.
All that said - everything is VERY different new. Airlines are desperate to get new people... so a lot of the requirements for pilots trying to get in 10-15 years ago are being dramatically reduced. Bottom line - find a way to build as many multi hours as you can and get into something with a tirbine as quick as possible.
I miss her! The 175 has nothing on it when it comes to actually flying it.

LOT translated is Flight.
THANK YOU!!! 😅
