I also have to wonder, and these certainly weren't the first, why they moved the engines off the tail and down under the wing???

Preacher, I really don't get what you mean. It's a totally different airplane than those with the engines near the tail.

Well, I know. It's still an RJ though and I just always liked the looks of that ERJ class and they had about the same capacity. I just have always subscribed to the premise of
"If it ain't broke don't fix it". I guess they felt a big redesign was necessary to keep up with the Jones'es. LOL

Of course, I was a 757 man too and we see what has happened there. It's just like WalMart; they stock something you like, you start buying it and get used to it, and they droop it; then you gotta get used to something else, and I guess I am that way with the planes. It's what you get used to. LOL
