What CRJ has FBW? Unless by wire you mean cable The DC9 family does fly like a dump truck thought. There is no "set it and forget it"

You're right, I should have said artificial feel. Felt like crap. Embraer did it better on the 145 and 175. 88 feels perfect to me. JMHO.

First time upgrade is a "get out of lock free" card. Or, at least it used to be.

First-time Captain upgrade is a "get out of seat-lock" card but it isn't necessarily "free" because you will tack-on the seat-lock incurred for the Capt AE/VD to the exisiting seat-lock you are trying to get out of. See 22.G.6 of the PWA.

Unless you get MD, which resets your freeze to 0.

Agreed...but a MD is totally different than using a 1st time Captain upgrade AE to get out of a seat freeze.

I can't take credit for this but I was able to combine the two as a NYC displaced 1st time Captain. I have no freeze what's so ever.
