We're talking about the CRJ-
200, right? The picture is a CRJ 900. Just b/c the 900 can do something doesn't mean the 200 can.
Can anyone tell us what the actual window is @ 410 for a CRJ-200 @ ISA and say, 70% of MTOW, or does everyone agree that it's at least 70 KIAS, what most on this thread are referring to as "a pin head"?

Please reference the thread '
Handflying Policy in your Airline' on the Majors forum. Or, simply complete this statement:
"FAR _____ prohibits hand-flying in RVSM airspace."
Now, if Skywest's company operations manual prohibits hand-flying in RVSM . . . then you might be on to something.
