wow that's gold... Sure the 175 is nice but the goal for everyone should be to get in to the regionals and get out as fast as possible, not fly the shiniest jet.

What class was this? Not buying it.

Like I said in my previous post, nothing I could find to support this.

having flown both i'm going to tell you right now that there are absolutely guys who have flown and even upgraded successfully on the 175 who would lose their jobs on the 145

it's not a stick/rudder thing although apparently many of us can't land right. it's a complete lack of situational awareness and planning.

point being that perhaps some of these pilots know they're weak and know the airplane will take up some of the slack for them.

And yet you seem to be ignoring this.

When did Envoy have a class that was only 145s and all but two walked out and subsequently were given 175s??

At least those planes still had an autopilot. Strap on a Metroliner or a Jetstream for 6-8 legs and see how’d they do.

LOL at thinking the 145 is hard to fly. Get over yourselves. I have my C-172 pitch/power worksheet already filled out and calibrated. Just a couple adjustments and all my climb outs and descents in the 145 will be a peace of cake.
