I don't like the little Embraer jets that the regionals use... last time I was on one they couldn't verify the gear was down for landing, had to fly by the tower to get a visual verification. This was on a Delta-affiliated regional airline... last time I flew Delta also, their planes are ancient. The MD-80 I flew on the next leg of the same trip was like 30 years old and leaking fuel out of the wing the whole way.
