Honestly though, is flying an E-170 or CRJ-700/900 much different than slipping into a 737 or 320?
Yes you caused a few to spit up their eggnog with that comment. The issue that you should be concerned about is not landing the jet, but surviving the course to get to the point they allow you to land the jet. Going from a Cessna to a Boeing/Airbus/any RJ is multiple changes in environment and culture that you haven't seen or experienced. Take the time before you get a CJO to book learn as much as you can about high altitude/high speed ops into high density airports. Find a good read on understanding FAR 121 and get a handle on the differences to what you’ve been flying and teaching.
