I'm the opposite of you. I'm at 3 years seniority and I have less than 100 hours in the 700 and 900 combined. Any trip on one goes super senior here even if it's a 16 hour 4 day. The last time I flew the 700 (to BJX of all places) I debated asking the captain to take all the landings because I was scared of the damn thing.[/QUOTE]


90% of my flying is 700, it's a tough sucker to land even for us experienced veterans. It's not near as stable as the 900 and has the same strut gear for less weight which equals Kaboom! Don't feel bad about it. I've seen some very nasty landings from some 10 plus yr capts and had my fair share of them too.
