I've flown the ERJ145 and CRJ900
I think the 145 was way more comfortable to sit in for long periods of time.
The CRJ center console continually presses against the outside of my lower leg.
The seats went further back, and reclined more in the 145. I'm 6' is all, but I feel cramped in the CRJ compared to 145.
I loved how the 145 would turn the ice on for you
I miss the TCS switch on the 145
I liked the motorcycle handlebars way better for all phases except in a stiff crosswind landing. If you had to turn them toward the inside with the other hand on the thrust levers, you were using only forearm strength, which in my case - was no problem - but for some guys...
But the Ocho -on the otherhand - tops them all - ahellofa nice ride!
