N10242 (cn 20071) Back during the short-lived "Cal-Lite" experiment I worked many of these aircraft as a flight attendant. First class was removed, and twenty minute turns were expected on days that often involved six legs or more. "Fly for Peanuts" indeed!

Even Express gets longer than 20 minutes now! And yes, I always thought of salad dressing too!

"..twenty minute turns were expected on days that often involved six legs or more"...They now call that Continental Express!

Wow...that brings back memories of flying from SC to CLE thru GSO back in college. We used to call them flying beer cans. Unfortunately I never got to work one as they were retired just before I was hired by CAL in early '99.

I really liked the MetroJet scheme, but you're right...these experiments never really "took off." There's a few MetroJet shots in the database too!

Continued , from first posting . The Recarro seats looked nice but as a line maintenance or flight attendant initial assessment we knew that the concept would not work , way to complicated.

Hey Chuck I remember those days while at Usair, we introduced Metrojet which I think at the time was the trend setter for those so called hybrid Lcc/Legacy airlines. Usair,s concept was a bit different it incorporated a novel concept of a convertible first class section, built by Recarro that the seats would collapse or expand
dependant upon projected loads.
