not sure about the CRJ 200 but its nice to sit in an XRJ full of pax with over 10k lbs fuel and be able to climb at .68 through FL250 at around 2000fpm .

Yes

Picking up the pieces and trying to move on. Worried about trying to transition from an ERJ to a CRJ.

The 200 is great, though. Going slower pays better.

Of course, an extra 10 minutes at $19.25 an hour will barely buy you a cup of coffee.

They are similar in that all glass turbojets are similar, but the technical details are significantly different...you need to forget your ERJ knowledge.

Most folks who have flown both prefer the ERJ as far as flying goes, but I don't think training would be harder on one or the other.

The training programs will be very similar, so you should at least know what to expect and what you will need to emphasize.

Not a chance on the CR2 but not a problem on the CR7/9. Only difference is that we can put 66/70 (UAL/DAL) on the CR7, 76 on the CR9, and climb at or above 2000 fpm through FL250 @ 290 KIAS. If you manage your energy you can make it to FL390 with no less than 1500FPM @ M.77. If you slowed down to M.74 the CR7/9 will climb faster but then you run the risk of out climbing your cabin, NOT GOOD! Now if you get behind while managing your energy the airplane will start to dog out, but who would have thought that swept wing a/c would actually perform better at high speeds? LOL!

But slower pays more, going fast only helps on "get home" day!

I'll agree with the last poster.. it's ALL about energy management. Our profile calls for 290/.60 climb in the 145XR, but if you accelerate to 310+, and climb out at around that, you can maintain a much higher rate pretty much up to cruise. I was actually shown this by a guy who used to work for Embraer. Doesn't do much for fuel savings though....

Gotta admit the Collins avionics in the CRJ beat the turds out of the Honeywell system we have in the 145. The AP is a little better in the CRJ, IMHO. Jorge from Brazil needs to take some lessons from George from Canada.

I haven't been doing this all that long, but is it just me, or does the autopilot on the CRJ suck in green needles? Or have I just had some bad planes?
