They painted it all up nice for its final years, the Suns used it as a charter with 60 or so seats, which was nice to fly on during the season if they weren't using it. The Suns didn't renew the contract as they hated the plane.

I flew on a CRJ-700 for the first time 2 weeks ago to Guadalajara, nice plane for an RJ, but I was in FC! The 700's are leaving America West and more 900's are coming in. As for the 200, I hate the 'lawn dart', gotta fly on one for UA next month, then transfer to a nice EVA 747-400.

Great plane. Along with Flight Technique Analysis, I got a chance to completely dissect and learn how to program the 744's FMC and do an entire overview on the systems (the only thing lacking from a type rating course is we didn't have to worry about numbers).

The 900 is a sweet plane and the profitability is just amazing (26 pax to start turning a profit). Not bad for a ninety seat airplane.
