[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Will avoid DCA and now it looks like people should avoid SFO as well. The San Carlos tower near SFO now has 0 air traffic controllers due to resignations over low pay.[/quote]

Only the RJ's can land on 33. Just avoid the RJ's, which I do anyway. [b]They are more claustrophobic, fly at lower speeds and have minimal bin space.[/b] [/quote]

I already said “if it’s my only option I’ll take it.” But thankfully it rarely is and I’ve never needed to fly to Wichita. And despite uncountable trips in/out of DCA, I don’t think I’ve ever landed on 33.

I feel like Luke Skywalker at the end of The Last Jedi: "everything you just said is wrong"

SOME RJs are more claustrophobic than mainline narrowbody jets- some are not.  The Embraer 170/175/190/195 is perfectly comfortable to me personally, and has bins big enough to fit a regular carryon size suitcase.  And those can land on 33 at DCA.

Normal cruise speeds:

A320- mach 0.78
737-700- mach 0.781
E175- mach 0.75
E190- mach 0.78
CRJ700- mach 0.78
CRJ200- mach 0.72[/quote]

Fly them all you want. It matters not to me. [/quote]

Then why are you posting here, if not to attempt to influence others? If I had to go to Wichita, I would absolutely take this flight- because it's the only nonstop available from the DC metro area.  [/quote][/quote]
