Longest Us Rj Flight?

Light Years said:
Anyone know what the longest US flights are operated by RJs?
here are some i can think of:
ATL-PHL almost 2 hrs
stl-phl almost 2.5 hrs
mob-phl not sure
dont know if i missed any but these are some of the long runs that i know of
 
MCI-PHL starts 7/6 and that will be 1039 miles. Saturday-only MSP-CLT is 930 and MSP-PHL is 980. IAH-CLT on Saturdays is 913 miles.

Edit:

Looks like MDA will be flying all PHL-IAH frequencies and that is 1324 miles. If PIT is de-hubbed, I would bet money that IAH (and maybe DFW) will go "Mainline Express."
 
Light Years:

I think that Delta Connection has everyone beat. Delta recently turned over its Oakland-Dallas mainline flying to Delta Connection carrier ASA. The trip length is 1,457 in a CRJ... :down:

DFW will never see MDA flights. As of now, their jetways are not equipped to handle the 170. Would US pay to modify them? who knows...
 
Why can't the Jetways in DFW handle the EMB170?
They are not much lower then the B737's or about the same height as the F100's. Didn't Dallas have F100 Service? And don't kid yourself, all they would more then likely need to do, is lowwer the Limits, barely.

It has something to do with the height of the building..not the a/c. It's the same reason why GSO doesn't use jetways for their RJ's. Because of the way the building is built, the jetway simply cannot go low enough. This is what I was told. DFW did have F100 service..but it was restricted to a jetway that US no longer has a lease on.
