I think part of it may be the lack of effort due to the flow just handing them a job and the other part is lack of the skill set to operate an automated jet. It's not a Dash any more. I had 6,000 hours in an RJ and even struggled a little with the Airbus to be honest. It takes some programming type thinking to wrap your head around the system.
I agree. I had a couple thousand RJ hours and transitioned to the Dash 8 - that was HARD! Then the Bus. Glad I had the RJ experience but it was still very different and challenging.
