If you go to the envoy website—> flight—> flight ops line—>there is a link under the references for the ORD new hire base day. Talks about sick expectations. Total BS and funny how it’s the only base that seems to take sick calls so seriously. I don’t blame people for being afraid to call out sick on probation if they’re ORD based after reading that. “While on probation, expect to be called in for every occurrence.” GMAFB....because probationary pilots get sick more than non-probationary? Obviously some people abuse the system but any competent management would deal with that on a case by case basis instead of trying to instill a punitive culture on everyone for calling out sick.

I haven’t flown with anyone that insecurely badmouths the E75. In fact most genuinely enjoy flying it. Sure it won’t do .80 all the way to cruise like the crj but what does except maybe the 757. Anyway, a plane is a plane at the end of the day. CRJ just is a tough one to be on at this airline right now is all.

I see it all the time with low time pilots on it. They try and reinvent the wheel and fly it like the 145 or crj, both of which it is not. The other issue is a lack of understanding on how the vnav works. The autothrottles work great. It really all comes down to knowledge and awareness. If I ignore conventional throttles they to will screw me, same with these.
The systems are designed to reduce the workload of the pilots, not completely remove it. Anyway rant over. Lol.

I only ever “bad mouth” the 175’s flying characteristics in front of the 145 guys because I’d still like to remain friends with them. I steer away from the real 175 problems, like MEL’d WiFi on the three leg DCA hop, the sh!tty breakfast plates that Canadian catering sometimes puts on board, and having to don the O2 masks in the cockpit after someone’s double-flush grundle in the front lav.

meanwhile, on the 145, I put a 1/2" gash in my scalp with something on the overhead panel while trying to get in my seat. blood everywhere. it's designed for 5'7" max.
