I don't currently fly for a regional but i took the CRJ course at my school and remember how much of a pain it was to engage them at first.
lockout switch? i flew the crj and it definitly did not have a lockout switch (skywest fleet) and my brother has informed me that mesa's fleet doesnt have a lockout switch either.
however, there are vertical actuators on the thrust levers you have to squeeze on when moving the thrust lever from cutoff to idle and vice versa.
