We’re talking a regional ✈️ here. 42” and up to 36” pitches for first and economy plus respectively on a plane like this is huge.

Hi Jeb! Flight attendant here (who doesn’t have to work this plane). While the plane is nice looking, A LOT of flight attendants are upset with this configuration. As you said yourself, it’s a lot of work for one person to do. I don’t know the validity to this but I had someone tell me it’s the only plane in the world with one flight attendant and two cabins. Additionally, I’ve had a few say it’s tacky for first class passengers to self serve; that it takes out the ‘class’ in “first class.” In this configuration it’s much needed though so first class passengers don’t have to wait forever for the flight attendant to serve them additionally drinks/snacks. I agree with others saying that one flight attendant working this isn’t right. This new plane is beautiful and I love the carryon capacity. I just feel bad for the one flight attendant. :( Aside from this, there’s lots of changes coming to United and I hope to see your reviews on them!

Is it just me, or could airlines/passengers do without service on 30-minute flights? Like I said in a previous post, "Everyone has spent an hour or two without drinking before, and everyone survived. Countless people commute twice a day for way more than 30 minutes without getting a snack or some water while they drive or sit on the bus/train, and we’re all doing fine :)" I know that people expect a lot from arlines nowadays, but expecting a cookie because you have to sit for 30 minutes? Seems a little unnecessary.

Great review Jeb. I live in a small midwestern town that United services with a few CRJ200 and a once a day mainline A319. We avoid the CRJ like the plague but sometimes have to take it due to work schedule and family engagements...etc. It would be a welcome addition to have the CRJ550 replace some of those flights if not all eventually.

Great video and a great improvement to the CRJ - looking forward to flying it on my next visit to GSO!

What an amazing plane, I hope more carriers operate them.

Love the CRJ550! Don’t forget the beautiful Airbus A220 (C series) built from the same manufacturer Bombardier!

Was looking forward to this video! I got really excited for you when I saw the UA announcement that the 550 would be serving Greensboro

Agree with others. Great work Jen! I was on this flight and thoroughly enjoyed my experience. Great legroom and service. For the first flight of this plane to GSO it was a great overall experience. Other airlines that use these planes should look into this!

I'm an infrequent flyer and my experience with the CRJ200 has been on 2 short regional flights from LNK to ORD for the connection to MCO and Walt Disney World, so I was happy to be on my way and could easily ignore any shortcomings. The Bombardier CRJ550 looks nice though.

I work on the CRJ 900 as Cabin Crew and this looks super cool! Indeed, 1 flight attendent for 50 passengers is a lot to do on a short flight. Sometimes we struggle with 90 passengers on a 30 minute flight and we're even 2 in the cabin. And sometimes we also have to eat on those super short flights. Anyway, excellent video! This CRJ550 looks great!

Yo! That CRJ came to riddle before it came out to the public, lucky to be on it. The interior is really nice!

Looks cool! But the very best thing about sitting near the front of a CRJ is how incredibly quiet it is. You barely hear the engines. Not true at the back, though

That’s insane! Sooo much better than the 200!

HOLY DAMN That's a game changer alright. That entire cabin with the storage racks and the self service section makes the entire thing almost feel more like a train than an airplane. I'm just waiting for the day where we see electric turboprops in the sky with interior like this!

As someone who does almost all his flying on CRJ900, ERJ-145 and other regionals: this is a welcome upgrade. I loathe that I fly regionals constantly because the experience is always terrible, but that's what I get for having Charlotte as my closest hub.

United would have loved to add more E175s and CRJ900s to the regional fleet. They're basically wasting gas and space putting 50 seats in a 70 seat regional jet. Their contract with the mainline pilots prevents this as their "scope" limits the amount of jets with greater than 50 seats that are contracted out to the regionals. And voila! A new 50 seat jet that can be flown by a regional airline with lower pay and worse working conditions.

I've flown on the 50 passenger ERJ-145 aircraft numerous times & it is a good airplane. This CRJ-550 airplane seems like it will be a very popular aircraft with passengers for many years to come!

I flew one a CRJ 200 Dulles to Toronto and as a Canadian, it was neat to fly on a Canadian built plane...but the airlines have made every plane a sausage tube and we are the stuffing. Remember, these planes are a Challenger business jet with an extra plug in the fuselage. They are a neat jet but they are still small

It’s nice to see these regional jets getting a much needed facelift!

Your positivity is great. Keep it up!

The CRJ550 is... perfect.

Great video Jeb! I love to see united is doing changes after the problems they've had.

Hey Jeb! I too am a PTI local. I always fly Delta and always hated the puddle jumpers to ATL. I was a Gov. Contractor in Afghanistan from 2009-2014 and racked up many miles.

The reason the CRJ550 exists is not because United is a cool company and wants to waste seat space on luggage racks. The reason is because of scope with the mainline pilots. Their scope sets how many jets with more than 50 seats can be in the regional fleet (i.e. contracted out). Think E175, CRJ900, etc. So, running out of space but needing to replace the aging CRJ200s eventually, this is their solution. Also Jeb I'd love to see you take a flight on a Dash-8 100 or 300 on Air Canada Express (Jazz)! Maybe you won't be so snooty about the RJ200 😉

I recently flew on an American Eagle E-Jet E175 and I was quite impressed with it, there was plenty of leg room in economy, wifi, wider seats, and plenty of headroom. Then on the way home, I flew on an ERJ-145, that was much worse.

Rode on some small plane from Ford Airport in Grand Rapids, MI to Chicago O'Hare in 2015, probably a CRJ. It wasnt as bad as the 737-800W from O'Hare to Tampa after. The bigger plane had less leg room.

U do it best Jeb!

I flew 4A on the CRJ-550 this week from ORD to CID. I chose it because of the privacy but I guess I should have watched your video first to warn me about the misaligned window. Other than that it was a pleasant ride. Due to the current conditions, the service amounted to a bottle of water and the self service bar was completely empty. Understandable these days but I look forward to the possibility of these aircraft taking the place of the abominable 200s on many regional routes.

I’ve been in both of these planes I hated how small they are but it did it’s job

Jeb why would you tell us your seat has no window and then lean forward and immediately show us a window that only your seat has access to? 😂😂 good video pal, love it

Jeb Brooks thanks same here, couldn’t stop laughing at that CRj200 cabin shot. I was hoping to stop by to say hi when I arrived back in Chicago, but by the time I got off the plane you guys started pushing back.

It's still a sardine can, game changer no way in hell. The 550 is simply a trick to beat labor agreements. The CRJ550 has a lower MTOW than the CRJ700 in order to comply with scope clauses in US pilot contracts, and is expected to receive type certification in the second half of 2019.[60] The initial 50 aircraft will be sourced from existing CRJ700 airframes, rather than being newly constructed.[61] On 7 August 2019, United took delivery of the aircraft and began with a crew familiarization flight to Chicago-O’Hare International Airport (ORD).

Just as things were starting to get a lot better and good on the CRJ700/900/1000’s with the new atmosphere cabin, they (Bombardier) announced that despite a sizeable order backlog, they would essentially be closing down the assembly line so Mitsubishi can build its MRJ’s in the factory used to build the CRJs, selling the program to Mitsubishi completely.

Did you know that everyday I watch your channel before I go to school (it’s almost over FYI)

As much as I appreciate it, your tip on the stroopwaffle is explained on the package and in the name as well.

Well done United!

It'll be interesting to see if other regional operators adopt this new configuration or something similar. Given that CRJ-200s are (thankfully) being phased out (though slowly), there will need to be a replacement at the 50-seater level other than an ERJ-145 (which isn't the worst alternative, but would be nice to have more options). Also curious to see the reviews of the economy section. First class and Econ Plus got an upgrade compared to the -700, but economy looks the same at 30 inches and closer to the engines.

Many of the people at De Havilland also go way back to the original program from the 80's with the original de Havilland company, and they don't plan on making any other aircraft design, so the Dash-8 will have their complete undivided attention.
