The CRJ is a peice of cake compared to the Saab. The training system is so refined. The FTDs and the CBT are very effective training. Bythe time that you are in the sim all you are learning is how to fly the plane. There have been a lot of pilots trained using this system and method; very refined training program. You might find yourself thinking that you are not learning anything about the airplane, but suddenly you know a whole lot because it is so well interwoven into creating effective results. Just my opinion... I'm sure that people have struggled for various reasons as well.
