I have to be honest, I have 4 type ratings and the Mesaba 900 ride/oral were the easiest airplane to fly and learn than I ever thought possible. A complete monkey could do that ride, no offense intended. Now the Saab, it's a bit harder, but with 8 sim sessions(!) plus extra if needed I think all but the most hopeless could do this.
When I was originally hired my sim partner had, literally, 250 hours with only a few multi, he actually did fine on the saab and his fo ride.

Flying a jet is not the hardest thing in the world, actually it's easier then the Seminoles as so forth I think. Problem I feel with most is just staying a head of the plane. Like instrument flying, just know what your gonna have to do in 5 minutes, then 20 minutes after that and so forth. It is when your sitting there doing nothing that you could be doing something.

For all practical purposes, the CRJ is centerline thrust. When you fly another jet, you'll see what I mean. Single engine in this airplane is an non event. In fact, the simulator exaggerates it compared to the actual airplane.

Centerline thrust airplanes do not create asymetric yaw when an engine is lost. while a crj might not create as much yaw as a Q. it still has some yaw.
