United CRJ-550 Pushback, Startup, Taxi, and Takeoff from Newark

Airline: GoJet Airlines operating for United Express Aircraft: Mitsubishi CRJ-550 Flight: UA4593 Scheduled departure time: 7:59 P.M. Scheduled arrival time: 10:02 P.M. (–1 hour) Date: Wednesday, March 1, 2022 Seat: 11A Unfortunately, there was light precipitation during the taxi, which made it quite hard to get a good shot. However, we departed along with a good number of heavies headed to Europe, so there was some action involved in this one. Due to iPhone space limitations, the time between the taxi and the takeoff was not included. This flight had excellent service, but I was very surprised to see that United didn't even fill a 50-seater on this route, considering they also routinely fly a 737-900ER earlier in the afternoon/evening. The flight attendant had lots of experience and she let us redistribute among the cabin to be more comfortable, which got me an exit row seat. It was an excellent experience to fly on the 550!
