The go around profile is a mouthfull...
Set Go around thrust , flaps 8, (positive rate gear-up) speedmode, heading mode. bug VFTO. Climb sequence (flaps up). After takeoff check.

It’s been the highest repeat/unsatisfactory item during CQ on the CRJ. Everyone can fly a V1 cut, hand flown SE approach, 30 knot crosswind landing no problem. But omfg a GA with, wait for it, an early left/right turn!

I don’t know, I think the worst part is that some guys just won’t shut up about the ERJ. Most are fine, you’d never know they came from the ERJ unless it came up in conversation later. I don’t remember feeling unsafe or behind the plane, they seem to fly well enough. But a handful of them just can’t stop pining after their old Braziliian lover.

Fortunately for the guy talking in your scenario, he’s a 1 year seat lock away from getting her back.

CRJ pilots have some interesting notions on how the ERJ autopilot works and what it is actually capable of doing. One can easily overspeed or underspeed, blow through an altitude or go unstable. The guidance panel is a control just like the yoke and pedals. If you don’t know what you are doing with it, you can really paint yourself into a corner. I see CRJ captain transitions into the ERJ that only use manual modes, because they either don’t understand the rest of it or they just want to fly the ERJ like the CRJ because that’s where they are comfortable. It creates a lot of work monitoring captains like that.

All this talk and would you not go to a major because your scared to training, how about being a MD80 FO and the get rid of them and you have to upgrade to the 737. That stop you..??... be a pilot.. study, work hard, learn for your captains. And take the upgrade!!!
