The Q will do more than 250 below 10. However, do to the straight wing we are structually restricted. Heck the Q will surpass 250 on one engine.
But.... Here's there real kicker... The Q fully loaded at MTOW will get off the ground in 3000' and climb at 2000' per min. Say what you want, but thats impressive.

Please..The Q will still do 250ish below 10 and will climb like a raped ape. I think if one can handle a Q, CRJ should be no issue, and vice versa. And you have to worry about dragging the tail. And the Saab? Well hope you are on top of your game on flying using ground based nav.
Saying a jet requires more skill is debatable. And a CRJ is a not the equivalent of a Ferrari, sorry.

A Q is awesome up to 250nm. Then the jet wins. Kinda how the "Q" is never in the "green" since you operate compared to ERJ block times. Above 10K you can't do 330+ climb and 400+ TAS. Don't get me wrong- you base the Q in MEM, I'd gladly bid it, but the role of the JET and Q are different in many aspects.

For one, I never called SkyWest a "better" regional. Going there would be a lateral move. Two, I never cried at any point during training. Three, I interviewed at SkyWest because my girlfriend got a job in Chicago and I thought it might be nice to live in base. Four, I have a Nov 28th class date there, which I've all but decided now NOT to take as I held my seat and it seems I might actually be able to get off reserve someday here. Five, I could have taken a voluntary displacement into the jet last month if that's really what I was interested in.
I quit posting for like two months because apparently I can't say anything about anything without anonymous internet tough guys thinking they "called me out" by perpetuating some lame rumor made up buy a guy in my class who was salty that he didn't have enough multi time to fly the Q. Some of you guys enjoy being jerks SO much when your name and face aren't attached to your words and you'll never have to own up to them it's actually really sad. Whatever guys, enjoy your debate, looking forward to flying with some of you on the line. I'm logging out for good.

We're restricted to FL250 due to no drop down O2 masks. At FL250 we True out at 360
As Highney said, Both Q and CRJ have differnet roles. Similar to the A-10 big slow but delivers a punch vs F-16, small fast but can't loiter.
