ROLLING DELAYS | Flying Intra-Illinois on the American CRJ200

CLICK "CC" TO WATCH WITH SUBTITLES
It's hard to believe, but just two decades ago, regional flying was much more widespread in the U.S. than it is now. Regional airports would see so much more services but fast forward to today and all but a handful of those services remain. Regardless, I've always enjoyed regional flights given I grew up around these. Today, I'm flying on my third intra-Illinois route, Chicago to Peoria with American Eagle. Due to the weather, this flight was continuously getting delayed but nothing terrible. At least we weren't on the earlier flight...

I love the engines sound of the CRJ-200.

[@MaviationYT]

Wow I rarely see videos of Peoria airport! As a Peorian, I approve of this video!

[@MusicByRamonP]

As a Ramp Agent from Envoy at ORD, I think it's so cool to see the passenger's POV of this flight. CRJ 200s are by far my favorite to load up because I can actually stand inside the cargo bin.

[@grahamcracker659]

this is very scare, my cat is sad

[@ck4426]

Absolutely love your flight reports!!! Thank you so much!!!

[@jameswilcox9809]

first time seeing this, very cool stuff, subscribed to the channel as I love aviation videos:)..keep up this great work:)

[@JD-Films1]

I recently flew Delta out of BMI, and at 5:00 AM that airport was pretty much desolate. It made security easy though!

[@WheezySalmon]

KBMI tends to not be terribly packed. ive never seen it completely packed and ive lived here my whole 24 year life lol\

[@EVVaviation]

Another amazing video by AS aviation

[@ZLG787]

Always a good day when as aviation posts

[@320_Crew]

Cool! Great video! I live in Peoria, I’ve only done this flight once, but it was when American still flew the Erj145 to peoria

[@steveashburn9652]

Worked out of Peoria for 40 years. Got to the point where it was more reliable to rent a car and drive 2.5 hours then fly. Used to fly through St. Louis then American bought TWA and then canceled all the flights to and from STL.

[@tomschultz8933]

About 15 years ago, I used to fly this route a lot, as I was dating my now wife, who lived outside DC. Because parking fees are a thing at O'Hare, this was a cheaper option. Always liked the Peoria airport.

[@Calebs_Aviation]

Great video! As much as I love to hate the CRJ-200 the AW retro livery looks pretty good! 🤩 I always love a retro livery! 😅Cheers 🍻 my friend! -Caleb’s Aviation

[@thecaynuck]

The CRJ-200 is a good-looking aircraft, gotta give it that

[@Calebs_Aviation]

@@thecaynuck Yeah looks like a Biz jet based off the Challenger design that’s why but I love T-Tail jets with rear mounted engines

Thumbs up for your videos. Love from Lahore , Pakistan💗💗

[@airbusmikey831]

At my home airport YUM, American Eagle flies to PHX via Envoy E175 and Skywest E175/CR7, it's also a short hop.

[@colez6366]

Grew up in BMI, when AirTran still serviced there. Great airline, many memories, wish they were still around.

[@ASAviation]

@@colez6366 I remember AirTran at BMI like it was yesterday. Flew them from there and would always grab a few pamphlets from their check-in counter. Miss them so much.

[@colez6366]

@@ASAviation my dad went to FSU, and we had property in NC, short drive from ATL. We used to fly them nonstop to watch that rivalry game vs Clemson in Death Valley. For my birthday one of the times, he got upgraded to first class, and gave it to me. I was only about 12, 24 now with CFI certificates, but I remember it like it was yesterday. Helped spark my passion for aviation, true professionals those AirTran employees were. Miss them, miss IL.

[@EvanSather]

As someone who has had a recent interest in regional flights, this video showed up in my recommendations. I appreciate you documenting the entire experience, primarily the time & cost factors. What's wild is on the day you did this flight: you would have been better off getting in a car and driving to Peoria. That would have gotten you there much faster and cheaper!

[@ASAviation]

Thanks a lot, yeah regional flying is boring to most but I like the connectivity aspect of it. And yeah if I was only flying between ORD-PIA it would've been faster to drive on that day.

[@roberts9095]

American has three wholly owned regional airline subsidiaries, Air Wisconsin is not one of them. The three wholly owned subsidiaries are Piedmont, PSA, and Envoy. In addition to these three, American outsources regional flying to 3rd party regional airlines SkyWest, Republic, and Air Wisconsin. Mesa formerly had a contract with American, however this contract was terminated sometime in 2022, and ZW was brought on in place of Mesa. Speaking of subsidiaries, PSA actually has a maintenance base at PIA and operates flights to the airport from Charlotte, American's 2nd busiest hub. 9:59, that -900 from Charlotte you mentioned is a PSA flight.

[@LMays-cu2hp]

Thank you for sharing your trip here. You had a long day at O'Hare International Airport but did you use your point membership to go to the Admiral Club to relax and have something to eat?😊 The regional Peoria Airport looks cute but I hope the ramp staff will be able to handle more flights because people are traveling more nowadays.😊

[@ASAviation]

Thank you for watching. Unfortunately, I do not have enough status to use the lounge!

[@LMays-cu2hp]

I hope you continue to add more points/milage to your airline membership. There is another membership program called Priority Pass! Look into that program because it is good! It has an overall access to many programs. I have been a member of them as well.

[@picklerick_404]

5:15 they’re taxiing faster than WN pilots

[@tonyde52]

Flights are assigned to runways according to WEATHER CONDITIONS; not by the city of destination.

[@dasmellyyooper]

All of Chicago's runways are the same orientation (Except for 22L/R). Chicago likes to split north and south departures (and arrivals too) to the north and south sides so there is minimal traffic interference. Doesn't always happen, like here, but that's the general traffic plan.

[@ASAviation]

@@tonyde52 yes of course. But departure runways are also assigned based on the flight’s general direction. At ORD southbound flights always use the southern runways (barring weather) so that it doesn’t impede traffic flow. Wind is of course the main factor behind how the runways operate. But when it comes to departures the destination and direction of where the flight is going determines what side of the airport the flight departs from.

back in the day Ozark on there DC-9s or FH-227s served drinks

was in SPIs airport last week it was a ghost town the subway had closed not like when i worked there when we had flights from 5a till 7p it was a busy place

Those were the days for sure...wish we could see more photos of such traffic that would serve SPI, CMI, PIA etc

[@zalmyreisman6176]

Seems like they didn't use flaps on takeoff, only landing....

[@backstrapwhacker9261]

Flap 8 takeoff.

[@r3m_2m]

7:00 Fun fact: The cruising altitude of this flight is close to the height of the Khunjerab Pass for those wondering how high that is.

[@das05]

Air wisconsin is absolutely horrible. They don't take care of their planes and they wait until they break to fix them. They are delayed more than they are on time. I work the ramp for AA at a station that gets AWI regularly, and it is frightening to see how poorly their planes are maintained.

[@davidsmiths5471]

Can I ask how your an expert?

[@das05]

@@davidsmiths5471 I work the ramp for AA and see these planes daily. They are broken more than they’re fixed. We take so many delays bc their planes break. I also regularly talk to the maintenance crews that come and fix our planes when they break

[@davidsmiths5471]

@@das05If they were broken they would not be flying in the first place! And you being on the ramp know that the crew is in charge of the aircraft!

[@das05]

@@davidsmiths5471 that is just simply not true. I have seen some planes where the MEL list is as long as a grocery store receipt.

[@davidsmiths5471]

@@das05 Yes it is true! Stop with the misinformation! MELs mean in needs to be fixed in a certain time frame! Not that the aircraft can not fly! So by your statements you must have a beef with AWAC

[@johnp139]

Only there was NO AIRCRAFT at Gate 4, so why were they delayed 30 minutes????

[@ASAviation]

The Charlotte flight uses Gate 4. The crew servicing our flight was occupied with us and so they could not service the CLT flight until finishing with us.
