I don't know about that. Even though the 135/145 has trailing link landing gear, the plane is not the easiest to land softly all the time.

It's the same deal as the 145....it just climbs a lot better (except for the 145XR). The most frustrating thing about the 135 is finding a place to stash your bag.

We had an older guy in our class with types in the 747, 737, 727, and a few corporate aircraft. He said out of every airplane he's ever flown the 145 is by far the most difficult to land. I wouldn't know, but take the fwiw.

still seems to be a mix of EWR and ORD.. Im still trying to figure out the mass hiring. Its nice for sure, but it seems the company is staffed much better than when I was hired a year ago.

Boy I hope you're talking about the CRJ700/900 series because the CRJ200 is just as forgiving if not more forgiving than the EMB when it comes to landing

I seriously doubt many people care where you get your flight time as long as you can get through training and, most importantly, aren't the type of person who makes the other guy want to suck on a 9mm and end it all during a 4 day.

Negative, they look at the quality of your flight time once you meet published mins. And that your crew won't commit suicide on a 4 day with you.
