Not. A. Damn. Thing. Fact of the matter is 250 hour pilots are flying mainline aircraft almost everywhere else in the world. We’ve been brainwashed into believing that RJ’s are a simpler aircraft to fly then mainline aircraft as a justification for extremely reduced below market value pay rates. Fact of the matter is CRJ, 737, 321, or 777 it doesn’t matter this is all the exact same job. With the exact same level of difficulty.

I've got around 2500 hrs in the 737, and 1000 in the CRJ. Systems are similar in complexity. Big difference is how the jets come down. If you're not 10,000AGL and 250KIAS 30nm from the numbers in a 737 then you're behind. Speed brakes are only marginally effective.

Sounds like the 74. And VNAV PTH, adds thrust to stay on the path even sometimes when trying to slow down...

Serious question,
What is fundamentally different about the 737 vs a CRJ or 175?
A brand new FO off the street is going to be challenged no matter which plane he flies. I was behind the curve for my first 100 hours, but I can't imagine a Boeing product being that much more difficult. For many years when Mesa was flying 1900s and -8s the first jet a guy would fly would be a 737 after he moved up.

Which is very interesting since the biggest thing a few of them flew before landing their gig at the Widget was an F-16.
More than a few of them look down their noses at Regional pilots like we are second class citizens or something.
I find it nauseating.

SOME OF THEM (I said SOME) definitely have the “My johnson is bigger than your johnson mentality.”

Seriously though, it's ridiculous as both of your jobs are identical.
