what about the climb performance? How many step climbs does the CRJ have to do to reach FL300 and above? I know we don't have to do any in the ERJ all the way to 370. From talking to others that fly the CRJ it seems they generally cruise at lower altitudes for this reason. I've never flown the CRJ but it seems like it would get annoying to have to level off 2 or 3 times to get through FL300. That cockpit is nice and quiet though
