Could've been an ERJ - restrictions only apply to the CRJ fleet

The mighty 170 is a real airplane. It's not like those other crappy RJ's.

Does the 175 have auto throttles?

I think it's all been lifted. Was in a 200 yesterday and they were filed at 310.

The 330 limit is fine, crews rarely wanted to go above that anyway in a 200.

The 200 did just fine all the way up to it's legally certified altitude if the weight and temperature were suitable.

The 7/9 were the problem, 200 was not and should not have been restricted at all.

Umm the FAA is on the ASAP committee and they get a vote? They get to see what people submit as asap reports and have gotten to point where they are no longer willing to grant blanket immunity.

Hypothetical example:

1) Honest mistake: Got distracted (possibly for understandable reasons) and got too slow to power out of it.

2) Cover up: Didn't request lower, milked it down a few hundred feet (in RVSM) trying to power out eventually got shaker maybe pusher

Can't say as I blame the FAA for having lost all tolerance for 2).

There is an FAA liason to our ASAP committee here at 9E. I submitted an ASAP about fatuguing scheduling practices and a committee member asked me to clarify some things because the FAA rep was with him wondering.
