Honestly, after flying RW, these CRJ/ERJ posts have me a bit concerned- do they truly reflect the professional aviators in whom the public entrusts their lives? But then, I've never flown an RJ. I would love to hear some feedback from someone who has flown BOTH helos and RJs. Please, someone with maturity and experience, enlighten this "RJ padawan".
Thanks.
I thought it was tongue-in-cheek humor
Pushing buttons is easy, as long as you push the right ones in the right order, otherwise it gets difficult.
Lots of fling wing guys around nowadays, you'll do fine.
