Being thrown in a jet with training that focuses on using the auto pilot with that low of hours creates bad habbits....aka happy hands...idol at 50 feet...not using the rudder....having the experience with a big turbo prop with no auto pilot helps create a better base for a pilot. It's just a observation not a fact. and yes there are exemptions to that rule.
I typed this on my iPhone and I yes i need to back to English 101.
I don't know of any ERJ pilot that chops the power to idle at 50 ft unless he/she has a death wish. It doesn't sound like the airplane is the problem, it sounds like the training dept. at whatever company you work for.
