I once jump seated on a RAH 175 and was talking to the capt about the airplane. He said RAH doesn't test it's pilots on weight limitations in the oral because the only way for you to get performance numbers is through ACARS and the system won't let you exceed any of the limits. I found this strange as we use aerodata/acars on our CRJs as well but still have to know limitations.
