This is easy to answer. Most are worried about upgrading to CA on an aircraft they have never flown. I taught the CRJ-200 for 1 1/2 years before I started flying the EMB for SKW. The CRJ is a much easier airplane to fly and learn. I have flown with several CAs who moved over from the Jet having never flown the Bro (Emb) and most all said they wouldn't have done it if they had known what it was going to be like.
