I would love to sit the first officer chair on a regional jet an see what my limits are... I'll get to that sooner or later.

I am aware that I may be required to get a (S.O.D.A.) Statement of Demonstrated Ability. I understand this like a check ride administered by the Federal Air Surgeon.
Next time you ride an RJ or even a 737, be the last one off and talk to the crew. If someone had asked me to jump in the seat real quick, I'd have let them as long as we weren't rushing to turn the jet. Never hurts to ask anyway.
