The erj will keep your feet warm and the Crj won't. Otherwise the Crj is A LOT better choice.

My feet were freezing today! CRJ is also a SOB to learn how to land.

The -200 lands better than a 172! Super easy IMHO. The 700 is harder to reliably land well, though...

Nudge the power up a just tad before touch down.

2nd this comment. My feeling is that it's not a major consideration, even in a high crosswind.

Night and day with the 200. Can't really compare the two. As for the 700 comparison, I don't have any experience with the 700, so take me with a grain of salt, but the E170 has the best weight/thrust ratio of the entire E-jet family. With that said, the E190, by virtue of it's wing, has the best performance at altitude. In other words, the E-jet family has more thrust than CRJ, but without comparing wings, it's a bit of a moot point.

Pull the power off at 100. Captains love this method.

"I can hold international 175, but I get a better schedule and seniority with domestic CRJ200" -said in southern Delta Captain drawl

Does it matter? As far as resume goes, I'd say the 170/175 just for the purpose of the 170/190 type. Lots of 190 jobs overseas. Even may give you a bump with American/Airways and JetBlue being already typed in one of their jets.

That is a great way to bounce it and get the GLD to deploy 5 feet above the runway.

Type is irrelevant. Fly a kid's tricycle as long as it pays the bills and you can live with the schedule.

A good landing is in the touchdown zone, on speed.
