I've flown the 200 and the 700 before and did not really like either. On the other hand I'm not anxious to learn a new plane. But, from the way it sounds, the 175 is pretty simple and straight forward. Also, the 200s procedures constantly change and you have 200 procedures and 700 procedures. One Skywest Captain told me it was either for him to switch from CRJ Captain to ERJ Captain than it was upgrading from CRJ Fo to Captain.

How does the 175 fly, how long is the training, not including indoctrination, and are the procedures pretty straight forward?
