As the title says, just if anyone else besides me were wondering so it can be verified:
Fokker F-28 (Class 2, older/smaller than the 70 and the 100 is in the fleet as a Class 2) Sud Aviation Caravelle (Class 2/3, little bit shorter than 737 and DC 9 but caries ~80 PAX) Douglas DC-8 (Class 4, Longer than 737 and DC-9, caries more PAX, 4 Engines) Lockheed L-1011 TriStar (Class 4, ~same size/Little Smaller than the DC-8 and 767, More/~ the same Pax than DC-8 and 767, 3 Engines) Convair 880/990 (Class 3, ~same size/Bigger than 737, Less Pax than 737, 4 Engines) Boeing 707 (Class 3, Longer than 737, ~ the same Pax as 737, 4 engines) Boeing 717 (Class 2/3, ~Same size as 737, Less Pax, 2 Rear mounted Jets, Was in Competition with ERJ's and CRJ's) more to come later...

I'm pretty sure we don't, and never will, have rules for everything, so your judgement comes in handy. I fly the FeelThere Embraer E-Jet 170 and 190. Neither are listed in CVAcars or the handbook*. They are both like the Fokker 100* so I use them in class 2 flights. But if I fly a class 3 route that is short, I might use the 190, so it becomes a class 3. I'd say make your best guess based on your pilot level and your route class. Flexible and logical, no? * http://canadianva.com/info/CVA_%20members_%20handbook.pdf (see page 3)
