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.

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.

...And make do without the VNAV and autothrottles found in larger 121 jets but missing from the CRJs/ERJs most regional pilots fly!
