The Bombardier CRJ family kept regional aviation alive for decades. Yes, the overhead bins are tiny. Yes, you'll bump your head. But it got you from Boise to Denver, and that's what matters.
Fun fact
Over 1,900 CRJ aircraft were built before Bombardier sold the program. They're gradually being replaced by larger Embraer jets.
How to spot one
T-tail, rear-mounted engines. Very narrow fuselage (2+2 seating). Short and stubby compared to E-Jets.
Crews call it
The Cringe Jet
Sounds like
CF34 engines are whiny and high-pitched. You know you're on a CRJ.
One might be overhead right now.
