Man, I've learned more about these two a/c and about procedures, work rules and what to ask and what not say by reading what rickair7777 has to say than anyone else. You are really informed. Whichever route I take, I hope to get an instructor like you and when hired, a Captain to fly with.

I have one other question: Is Mesa the only regional operating the entire CRJ fleet, i.e. (200/700/900)? You mentioned on another thread that you didn't think CA would go with the 900? It seems as though the upgrade would be seamless. Also, why are these a/c bidded differently, if the flightdecks are so similiar?
