Another brand new airline for the channel with CityJet! In addition to that, this is also a brand new aircraft type for the channel as it's the first time I've ever featured the rare Bombardier CRJ-1000! Enjoy!
I just finished watching the sci-fi movie Flight Word War II where a present day jetliner gets sent back to France in 1940 during a storm andthe pilots find themselves in the middle of a decisive battle during WWII. Now THERE'S a movie you should watch. And now, I'm watching your flight video. Back in 1997, I flew from CPH down to ATH, had good views of Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece. The sun was so much brighter in Athens thna in CPH. We went from 56 degrees N down to about 38 degrees. And.... we lost an hour going down to Athens. I lost 9 hours in 9 hours going from SEA to CPH and then, lost the additional hour on top of that. But I was able to spend the rest of the afternoon exploring the old section of Athens and went to bed at normal time. By doing it this way, my body was adjusting to the local time zone and certainly was by the next morning. Anyhow, another fine video on your part. It's looking more and more like we're shifting over into a La Nina, which could mean more turbulence for you this summer, so be prepared. They're also expecting a very active hurricane season this year. The water in the Atlantic is already where it would normally be in August. For us here in WA State, a La NIna could mean a cooler than normal summer and also fall and winter, depending on how long this La Nina lasts. We're going to have the lowest tide of 2024 on June 6th at 11:15 AM, a -3.3. BE THERE!!
How you like the CRJ-1000? Seems like it’d be a huge upgrade from the -100/-200. I’ve been seeing business class and IFE screens in CRJ-900’s and full meal service offered for business class passengers (Air Canada) so airlines can do some real cool things with the newer CRJ’s.
Oh it's fine. I'm not the biggest fan of CRJ's. The 700/900/1000 are certainly better than the 100/200. But as a passenger, I'd much rather fly on an ERJ-175 over any CRJ. That said, as an aviation enthusiast, I'm certainly glad I got the chance to fly the 1000. Truth be told, I'd kind of forgotten they even existed when I booked this whole trip to Europe. I was in Madrid the day before this flight and saw one of Air Nostrum's 1000's, and thought... "Darn it, I should've booked a flight on one of those!" Well, the next day I had this flight, but it was supposed to be on a 900. Looked at the last second and CityJet swapped the 900 for this 1000 and then I thought... "Man, sometimes I do have some good luck..." 😂 It just kind of worked out that I was able to feature this one.
Yeah, they didn't sell very well and really only ever had much use in Europe, so it's not a plane you hear about often. The US regional airline scope clauses prevent them from flying aircraft this large, so they've never been used in the US.
Thanks my friend. Yeah, sadly the US regional airline scope clauses mean this aircraft is too large for them to operate. And as far as I know, Europe is really the only place you can reliably find any in regular service. Truth be told I didn't plan to feature the 1000 on this trip. When I booked this whole trip, I kind of forgot they existed 😂. This was supposed to be a 900, but was swapped for a 1000 at the last minute. For once, an aircraft swap actually worked in my favor haha.
@@sla31 So apparently Garuda Indonesia operated CRJ-1000's in Asia for about 10 years ending in 2021, but they were just leased from Nordic Aviation Capital
Great fly! Have you heard the Greenfield, Iowa got hit by a powerful tornado yesterday, the same one that got hit by the wind turbines, leading them to snap in half and burst into fire? 5 people died, including the storm chaser that was ejected form the vehicle.
I did hear that. Always sad to hear when major tornadoes go through places. As someone who lives near Joplin, MO I certainly understand what they're going through.
Thank you, I always find this model very interesting. I assume it didn't find success in the US because of the restrictions about weight and capacity with regional jets.
Effectively yes. The US regional airline scope clauses that limit the number of seats they're allowed to operate mean this aircraft is too large for most of them. So just like the new ERJ-E2 series, no US regional airlines were ever interested in it.
7-11... The one constant in airports all around the world 😂. The ones in other countries are significantly nicer than the ones here in the US though ahah.
Any differences between a 1000 and a 900 that you noticed, other than the capacity? Been on a few 900's but never a 1000 so my interest is piqued. Great video again!
Neither CPH or AMS is considerate enough to use a jetway--wondering if a handicapped passenger needing a wheelchair, how would that be handled? To manhandle a occupied wheelchair down those steep steps would be a challenge! Did you overnight at AMS?
In cases like this where the jet bridge isn't used, airlines/airports have equipment that will pull up to the other main cabin door on the FO's side. It then lines up with the floor, the wheelchair passenger is pushed onto it, and it's then lowered down to ground level. They then take the regular elevator up to the terminal. The ones I've used before were made by a company called Lift-A-Loft. Don't worry, no one is having to try to carry passengers down those stairs in their wheelchairs. If there's enough space on the ramp, they'll often just use a big ramp on the main door for everyone. Then everyone just walks off and the wheelchair passengers can then simply ride down the ramp.
And I used AMS on trip as my "base of operation" so every day I'd fly back to AMS and I stayed at the same hotel all week instead of trying to fly around to different hotels every day.
You know, every once in a while, I get a comment like this. Where it would appear, you have missed the fact, that this is first and foremost, an aviation channel. While yes, the scenery and the views that you get while flying are spectacular, it is still an aviation channel first. Which means the wing is the most important part. It is the start of the show so to speak. Even still, I make sure to sit in a variety of places so the wing is more/less prominent in various videos.
I can't believe the waste in sending aircraft to taxi the long way around the airport, there has got to be a better way to save time & fuel. Isn't this the country where Gretta know-it-all is from?

What a peaceful flight. I love CRJs
Sometimes I get peaceful flights 😂. Thanks for watching!

Love the engine sounds of the CF34 on both the CRJ and E-Jets. Certainly can hear it much more at the back of the CRJ for sure.
No better place to sit than in the back of a CRJ!

It is nice to see a fast taxi for a change. Keep it going.
This crew gave Southwest a run for their money, for sure haha. Thanks for watching!
I’ve never heard of a CRJ 1,000! Great job on this one man!

@@sla31 ok! Cool Great Analysis!
@@sla31 Also Great Research!
That CRJ length is like the 757/A340 pencil jet length!
It definitely is. It's the 754 or A346 or regional jets haha!
Awesome! I like the landing in Amsterdam on 18R and the long taxi to the gate with natural views outside the window.
And man did this crew taxi fast haha.
Great video! This is definitely a rare aircraft, and it’s great to see a video of it. CRJ-1000s aren’t flown here in the States.

Great 👍
Thanks my friend!
Amsterdam airport is very well known for massive area that takes the pilots to travel on taxiways for such a long time.
New airline 👍 and new aircraft 👍
Very great video! I watched the whole video :)
Those spoilers 😂soo small. Wasn't that quite a firm landing?
It was a bit firm. Not the worst I've ever had though 😂
Love it!
Glad you enjoyed it my friend!
CRJ CRJ CRJ!
And it was complete chance that I got a 1000. This was supposed to be a 900 and it swapped at the last minute.
@@sla31 Ah nice! and the first one on the channel!

Not really, no. Besides being longer and having more seats, it's basically the same as a 900.
How long?
128 ft 5 in long. That's 10ish feel longer than the 900.
@@sla31 very long for an rj
Definitely.

That looks underpowered from the outside
Super long jet
Would someone please tell me why it’s important to show a wing that blocks out 40 percent of the view out the window?
