And yes, I've seen countless ex 145 or CRJ200 pilots who just couldn't step up and bring their A game. Sometimes it's just the inability to adapt to the fact that the engines are under the wings and farther apart which increases differential thrust, requiring more rudder on single engine approaches and V1 cuts compared to the 145 or 200.
got 145 and 170 types...
i still think 170 is far easier on the v1 cuts than 145, at least in the sim
no problems with jet classes getting filled, it's the q they cant staff as new hires realize they'll be on reserve for years...the music has stopped on that fleet with no more planes coming
