CRJ-700/900 are 2-2 in coach as are the E170/175s. The DC-9 was 2-3 in coach and so are the Mad Dogs. So, those are bigger and therefore better pilots than the RJs.
There may be some F-22, U-2, and FA-18 pilots that disagree with this.
This is a civilian chart, being that this is the regional section of Airline Pilot forums.
I highly doubt it is a linear relationship. Who did the research for this graph?
It is a linear relationship. I went from flying a 50 seat RJ to a 149 seat Airbus, and my skills have gone up 3 times over. 50 seats x 3 = 150, so yes the linear relationship works. I am now 3 times better than I was when flying the RJ.
