There's a reason they are called REGIONAL jets. Not INTERCONTINENTAL
jets. Please to be taking note of this.

A couple years ago, I thought it would be nice to fly United from
Madison to San Francisco by way of Denver instead of Chicago. I got two
regional jets instead of a puddle-jumper and a 777. Yay!!

Couple of years ago my mother flew from TUL to MSP in a CRJ-200. Yuck.

Ummm... last time I checked DFW and RDU were on the same continent.

I'm sure you mean DFW-ATL-RDU. All Delta flights are required by FAA
regualations to at least touch-and-go at ATL prior to arriving at their
final destination.

Lots of airlines are moving routes that used to be served by medium sized
Boeing aircraft to these little CRJs and ERJs. Boston-Raleigh and Orlando-
Raleigh is about my tollerance for those elf sized seats. Ottawa-Raleigh
in a CRJ is not fun.

Actually, I just went on the Delta web-site and got a flight that goes
directly from RDU to DFW.

Nope, direct flight, including boarding and taxi time over 2.5 hours in
that cramped little thing. Yes it was a full flight.

It's not only that the seats are smaller. The windows are down at my
chest, so it's even a strain to just look out the damb window in those
things. I don't remember American Eagle's EMB RJ's being this bad, but
the longest flight I've had in one of those was about 40 minutes
(RDU-DCA) so maybe if I'd been in it long enough it would seem as bad.

Was it a CRJ?

Transcontinental really would involve NC to DFW
To me, that implies going across a lot more of the continent.
What was the flight time, like 2 hours?

You sound like a two-seat candidate.
