you'll enjoy the 170. it will make you a very lazy pilot. all the stuff you wish was automated on the 145 is automated, and the autopilot's not as dumb as the 145 (the Embraer clearing turns aren't near as bad).

also, training will feel like a joke compared to TSA's. there is very little stress, and the instructors are very helpful.

that and there's donuts in the morning.
