CRJ or ERJ?
 

I apologize, as I failed to specify. CRJ or ERJ 145. All else being equal (QOL, upgrade time, pay etc) I was just wondering about which airplane is more fun to fly, more comfortable, quieter etc.

The CRJ might have a slight edge however this could be easily tipped into the ERJ category by any one of the other "equal" considerations. A decision only you can make so the pick the one that you like best.

Yes, that time is so valuable that a new-hire FO with 20 hours of "engine under wing time" will get called by FDX/UPS/Legacies before a 10,000 hour check-airman with tail-engine RJ time ;)

Both the CRJ-200 and ERJ-145 are flying roadblocks requiring off course vectors to prevent them from impeding all the airplanes behind them. So if I did have a personal choice I wouldn't fly either one.

But I don't get that choice, the airline pays me to fly an ERJ-145.

My personal preference is in the order I would want to fly them are: CRJ-700, ERJ-135, CRJ-900, CRJ-200, ERJ-145/140, ERJ-170/175

E175/crj7,9 then 145 then crj2. In that order.

CRJ or ERJ?

Already do. It's called working for Republic. :mad:

Having flown both.( over 4yrs on each). ERJ145 is more fun to hand fly... But would choose the CRJ200 if i had to spend more then a year on the plane....it is better all around.. (My opinion only)

When I did a 2 plus year regional stint after the military, I worked in a CRJ2. A guy from my UPT class went to republic at the same time. In a 12 month period, while we were on second year pay, I made 18,000 more dollars than he did.. I find that pretty substantial. Stop fooling yourself by thinking all regionals are equal.

Pretty sure we both ate a sh--sandwich first year at majors.. Me at CAL and you at airways.. So stop ridiculing these regional guys who are working so hard to make it.
