ERJ>auto throttles/brakes/VNAV some longer routes and fewer legs per day for some pairings. Oh yea, engines under wings, looks like mainline, cruises slow.
CRJ>You must move thrust levers/stomp on brakes/you tell the plane when to descend. Shorter legs in UA and DL system, T/O and land several times a day. Cruise .74/.77/.80
