In most regions, region is a geographical term that is used in various ways among the different branches of geography. In general, a region is a medium-scale area of land or water, smaller than the whole areas of interest (which could be, for example, the world, a nation, a river basin, mountain range, and so on), and larger than a specific site. A region may be seen as a collection of smaller units (as in "the New England states") or as one part of a larger whole (as in "the New England region of the United States"). Regions can be defined by physical characteristics, human characteristics, and functional characteristics.

As a way of describing spatial areas, the concept of regions is important and widely used among the many branches of geography, each of which can describe areas in regional terms. For example, ecoregion is a term used in environmental geography, cultural region in cultural geography, bioregion in biogeography, and so on. The field of geography that studies regions themselves is called regional geography.

A. Da Tommaso isn't bad. Nothern Italian very good for before or after a show. Maybe a bit old fasioned, but to me that can be OK. One block from Broadway 903 Eighth Ave. (bet. 53rd & 54th Sts.) EDIT: Ah - I thought you meant Regional Italian cuisine. I haven't been since I never go above 72 nd St. but this will help

How much does a regional jet produce in revenue over it's life span?
Q. Over the life of an average 80-90 seater regional jet (like the CRJ900) operating in North America, how much revenue would it bring in for the airline. i know this answer has a million "it depends" associated with it, but a ball park would be good. And also a brief explanation of how you got the figures. :) Thanks! it's not a course, i'm doing a presentation selling a CRJ900 NextGen. So I'm just covering all the bases. :)

A. How about how much it saves a company? We fly 4 CRj 890's and according to the company bean counters we save over a million bucks a year flying our people in and out of camp as opposed to sending people on commercial airlines. We also move execs around saving on hotel costs etc. We move over 500 people around Alberta, BC and Sask. Canada on a daily basis. regards russ
