Forgot about those ones. Nice. It does have a lot of switches and you are constantly moving them back and forth. It even has switches underneath the floor. :D
More like a rudder *****, but dosent sound as nice. I have blisters on my hand from using the rudder trim so much!
Anyway, as for the training numbers for 2008 it looks like SkyWest is planning on training 130 EMB FO's and 180 CRJ FO's in the first 6 months. (Numbers from Brad Holt in November) Still lots of EMB training going on so I don't believe the Bro's are flying out the door anytime real soon!

Yea the rudder trim is stupid. Sure looks like a design flaw to me. I've flown aircraft with a higher power/trq to weight ratio and it was nothing like the Bro's crazy tendency to yaw at the smallest power change. This is what it must have been like to fly those old prop driven flying wings. :rolleyes:
