However it's not always the old guys that present the problem. And it sure as heck doesn't matter who the F.O. is and the strength in their ability to "bite their tongue".

These guys are just flat out bitter, have very awkward personalities, HATE most FO's and have a real problem letting go and giving into change. I wish that I could say this was my opinion only however, it's a common feeling amongst a lot of pilots including captains, fa's and fo's NOT included in the "me generation".

I just think on the 200 you have more options and more choices of people to fly with. I also think there are far less crusty captains on the 200. At least this is what I hear from lots of FO's that flat out refuse to fly the 700/900.
I flew the 700/900 on reserve for a year and by some miracle I somehow never got to fly with any of the infamous crusty captains. Most of the old guys I flew with were awesome and easy to have a good convo with even though they got hired at ASA before I was born
