The only thing you had to remember was on takeoff, if given a level off below ten, pull the "thrust levers" back. Not that difficult. Comparing the RJ to a Emb-120 is no comparison at all. RJ is easy, Brasilia is hard....................regardless of the speed...........you are only going faster above 10000'.
Wow the 120 must be one tough airplane to fly then because, generally people would agree props are easier to fly than jet. It's quite simple, a prop does what you want it to do, in the jet you have to make it do what you want it to do. Maybe this may not be the case with the 120, I've never flown it.
