The flying is already being done under the same banner in a complex jet. If the FO has 1500 hours and the captain has a year or two under their belt, what does it matter whether a route is flown in a CRJ versus a 737? We don't have RJs falling out of the sky due to lack of experience.

1,500 hour CFI’s join the ranks everyday at any regional. The regional upgrade success rate is much lower than at the Majors for good reason. Some of the new hires will unintentionally sabotage a flight more than a few times a trip. Some are actually rock solid, but it’s obviously inconsistent and you’re always on high alert out of the left seat. Amazingly that’s probably the least stressful part of the job for me personally.
At the end of the day a jet is a jet and I can promise you nothing sets you up more for failure than some of these clapped out regional jets.

Don’t read into it too much. All I’m saying is that after having flown the CRJ-200 and the 737-300, 500, 700, 800, and MAX 8, a CFI with 1500 hours is going to have more of a handful with a 737. I’m referring to the NG or MAX really, as thank goodness the Classics have mostly been taken behind the barn and shot.

Does pulling back not make the trees get smaller in the 737? Does the pressure in the hydraulics come from something other than pumps? Oh, how about navigation modes, is there more to a descent plan than a CRJ that really doesn’t do any descent planning for you? How about gas, is it all gravity transfer so you have to put the ball out to switch from one wing to another? I know, it’s the third and fourth engine that really separates the 73 from the crj.
If you answered “no” then you’re being less than honest. Don’t get all butthurt. Give me a break 🙄

With enough years and hours you get used to anything, but there's a difference in the beginning, and that lasts longer than IOE.
