Mr. FADEC is a beautiful thing though!

Well, I'm flying the ERJ now. But believe me, the 328's was just easier to use and more pilot friendly. On a go around you didn't have to pull BACK into the detend and THEN press a button for the proper power setting. In cruise, just pull it back into the cruise detent. No worrying about going through a "weak" detent", seeing T/O Reserve on the EICAS and then pulling it back and pressing another button. Then have some idiot CA **** his pants because of what just happened.

The engine shutdown was a more positive method as well. Lift the trigger and pull the thrust lever back, simple. No worrying about having the TL not at the stop and turning the knob and NOT having the engine shut off.
