The CRJ, esp. The 200, is alot more of a Stick n Rudder bird that the Ejet.

There's a whole different philosophy built-in to the EJet.

In a nutshell, the CRJ is designed to be flown by the Pilot, with some help by the automation. The Ejet, on the other hand, was built by and for the automation to handle most of the workload, with the pilot "managing" the automation.
It was built with the fact in mind that most customers are in Third World countries, where Pilot Training is...Well not quite up to Mesa Standards....
With that in mind, it's hard for CRJ Guys to let go and let the automation do its thing.
For new hires, who are probably 20 years younger, it's a different story. For the younger generation computers and automation are a natural part of daily life and therefore I think they can grasp the concept of allowing a computer to fly the airplane...
That's my take on it.
I'm sure the darts will start flying at this one now.
Ya'all be safe out there.
BS.
