No a old flying buddy flies for an outfit that operates 200 & 700s.
He said their OP specs have -2b19 and 2c10 or something like that, adding operators that have briefing cards cl-65 are old school.

Shouldn't some -2b19s be called a cl-67s because your math plus the flight deck and optional cabin jumpseat???
