There you go again absolutely another spectacular beautiful shooting filming footage compilation travel trip reports and gorgeous settings presentation camera work, captured beautiful shooting view and you nailed it again, TQSM ! ..

I rode a United Express from Houston to Nashville yesterday. It was really nice

[@allanpeters4403]

When I worked for UAL the only fancy painted plane was a 727 that the Washington Redskins were flown around to away games on - that one in the beginning of your post was interesting. Tks

[@scottbridge9391]

I was watching today's General Hospital and now, I'm watching your latest flight adventure. I was looking for the Pioneer Woman's Ranch coming into TUL, but wasn't able to spot it.

Hey Traveler, Homeward Bound again ... Destination Tulsa !! " Ok Rudolph, Full Power, Up Up and Away !!!! "

[@td77331]

CRJ looks fast and fun to fly on

[@Sammysaviation]

Great video as always! Surprising that they deploy such little aircraft to Tulsa. It seems like TUL-DEN would be a much higher demand route.

[@sla31]

It's a geographic problem, not a demand problem. I've actually talked to TUL's route planning team about this exact thing. United could easily fill A320's and 737's all day out of TUL, but they consistently send their regional partners to TUL instead of mainline. And it all boils down to where Tulsa is geographically compared to United's hubs. In particular, IAH, DEN, and ORD. Where most of the traffic from Tulsa is going. Tulsa is right smack dab in the middle of those and it's basically 500 miles to each. The perfect route length for regionals. When I asked one the guys at TUL why they sent 50 seaters to Tulsa when the flights are always packed, he said because of two things. First, United has to send the regionals somewhere and we're in the 500 mile circle. They like to send the regionals on a lot of short flights and save their mainline aircraft for longer routes. So Tulsa is at a geographic disadvantage there. And second, there's only so many flights the mainlines can do, and United can make more sending that A320 to Burbank or San Francisco, or Seattle, then they can to Tulsa. Basically, it's not that they couldn't fill the planes. They could. But they'll make more flying that mainline plane to the coast, and they need to send the regional somewhere. It's a similar story at XNA and SGF too. The other legacies send mainline planes into those airports, where United only sends 50-76 seat regionals.

The wing man in Denver almost looked into the cabin at pushback. 😅 Nice wide open land in Oklahoma.

The CRJ-200: the unusually bad airframe with unusually good engines, being the CF34-3B1, which has a dispatch reliability rate of 99.99%, making them among the most reliable jet engines of all time 😎 and don't forget: the CRJ100/200 never recycles cabin air, it just uses all-fresh air! Of course, this isn't a problem with HEPA filters, but it's still pretty cool to know this about the CRJ100/200: kzbin.info/www/bejne/kGaWc4NsatqhaLssi=B8uYuo16VR2fTLrx 1:13:26 is when the engine begin to reduce power for arrival

[@LifeWithShawn2024]

1:23:20 - If you look closely at the terrain below , you can see small white structures , which I assume they're windmills

[@almach6279]

Looks like it. I think I flew over them one evening several years back--lots of little red lights across the landscape, that all turned on and off at the same time. I also passed a few wind turbine blades as they were being transported on I-80, and they're... not small.

[@faraadkhan3004]

Nice flight SP good job 👍

[@sla31]

Thanks my friend!

[@damienruud9742]

The last CRJ I took was from LAX --> TUS and the seats were really small. I'm a big guy (6'3) and I think I'm too big for this plane series. :')

[@JungleJetAviation06]

I took a CRJ-700 from LAX-SAN about two years ago and I gotta say that little thing can move on takeoff lol.

[@MileHigh_Aviation]

ah the famous 90 minute taxi at denver 😆

[@sla31]

😆

[@JTB_shorts]

I’d wish United had more CRJ-900s😢

[@RoadsOfAsiaBen]

Great fly! Why in the world it takes about 24 minutes for taxi before taking off?

[@sla31]

Because DEN is massive. It's the second largest airport in the world.

[@vanhalo]

Sorry you had to endure the CRJ200. Was your neck feeling awful? I also rode on Skywest 4743, but not to Tulsa. As of June 2024, it became the 2nd daily Amarillo-Denver flight.

[@sla31]

Yes, it was haha. I hate flying on CRJ"s haha.

[@Saa42808]

👍

[@RJCormanRailfan]

They still fly these little things??

[@sla31]

unfortunately, yes. 😂

[@abdullah_awan36]

Day 1 of asking to fly United Airlines IAD - CDG or IAD - LHR

[@sla31]

Well you can certainly ask every day, but I can tell you it's not happening until 2025 as the earliest as I'm almost done flying for the year haha.

[@abdullah_awan36]

@@sla31 Alright. Could you add it to your bucket list tho? 😂

[@crystalc1ear]

They're still flying these dreadful old sardine tins?

[@sla31]

Unfortunately, yes haha.

[@anton8019]

Blame Skywest.

[@rafaelwilks]

As unusually uncomfortable as the airframe is, it also has unusually good engines - the CF34-3B1, which has a dispatch reliability rate of 99.99%, making them among the most reliable jet engines of all time 😎 and don't forget: the CRJ100/200 never recycles cabin air, it just uses all-fresh air!

[@nikolauswolff5791]

Best fuel efficient air craft. At United and their sister airlines they own a lot of their planes. Imagine you have a fleet of 780 aircrafts all together. Then you must watch your costs and your profit on each individual leg. New fancy aircrafts are nice but they come with costs. By the way. United gets 2 new aircrafts over the next years every month. One day they will also replace your sardine tins...

[@sharlansimmons7240]

United is wrong for that got y’all up in here sitting on the CRJ 200 for that long 🤦

[@darkangelgaming1117]

A CRJ-200, ewwww. Hope you liked being a sardine. 😂

[@GarlandTexasSpotter2024]

There not too bad honestly, of course it’s not comfy as a Embraer E145 or A220, but at least it will take you to your destination 😂

[@darkangelgaming1117]

@@GarlandTexasSpotter2024 I am just teasing him since he flies so much. I have gotten spoiled as 95% of what I fly now is E175's and A319's when I travel.

They can't all be wasting away in the desert soon enough 😆.
