Nope. But a guy asked a generic question. Or is something I wrote incorrect?
I’ve been through enough training courses to know what helps, what doesn’t help, and what can hurt. Getting a head start on genetic material is rarely detrimental. As a matter of fact those who did not do so in my latest course and showed up assuming they would be taught everything were at a serious disadvantage.

Looks like he’s asking a Skywest guy the question and you are answering as one.

I’m answering as a pilot who has been through a few type courses and has taught type courses. Some stuff does not change no matter the aircraft type or who teaches it, such as the question “What happens when you pull the fire handle?” That question comes up on almost every oral. ATR, CRJ, ERJ, 747... doesn't matter. They ask that question. The answer varies by type, but what it does in each type is the same no matter who operates it. Or does SkyWest fly some supper special variant of the CRJ-200 that has a different fire handle?
SkyWest training may be good, but it’s not all that special. I know they are taught to think that they see the son of Bob Hoover in the mirror each morning but that’s not quite the case.

There's a fire handle on the CRJ?!? After five years on that bird I still haven't found it... 🤔

The airplane I just typed in has a handle, so I used that terminology out of habit since I dumped the CRJ stuff. But be it a switch-light, a handle or something else they generally do the same thing- squibs, air, fuel, spark, and hydraulics. Specifics vary from one airplane to the next- (in some of the helicopters I flew they did the same thing). The advice to someone learning a new type who wants to get ahead stands. Learn the general systems. A CRJ-200 in the US generally has the same systems no matter who flies it.

He might also want to check out “CRJ 200 CBT” on YouTube, it is a “vanilla” course of 103 videos that will at least give you an insight into the systems.

The jumpseat is the same, but the W&B/CG configuration is different... very nose heavy, after the FAA changed the pax weights.
