The only Canadair product I have actually flown myself is the CL-30 (Challenger 300), which shares essentially nothing in common with the CL-600 airframe.
So, how would you compare the CRJs, ERJs (135, 145), EMB-120s, Dash-8s, and the EMB170/175?
*sarcasm alert*
The EMB170/175 is hands down the almighty most awesomeness of the RJs, it even has gone as far as earning its own category as a "transitional jet". If you are choosing regionals based on aircraft, definitely roll with the best. The EMB170/175 takes SJS into a whole new level. Just picture that shiny new Ejet rolling out of the factory, giant bright displays and auto switches doing all the work for you. A printer to copy down your ATIS, dual FMS's, Autothrottles to keep both your hands occupied on your iPhone. Must have sleek backed gelled hair and ear buds to apply to fly one of these birds.
