Also, if its your first transport category plane a lot of things are new - fire loops, bleed air, AC and DC electrical systems, etc. Personally the easiest planes I ever learned were the 757/767. The APU section is 3 pages long. However, I seem to recall the CRJ was like 40 pages long.
Well they have to beat the pi55 and vinegar out of us somehow right? better to do it when you are new to the business...
