Initially, I found single engine easier because you were climbing out at a slow vertical speed which gives you a lot of time to think.

Rate of climb is less in OEI flight owing to less thrust than in twin engine flight, so yes, while the airspeeds during 2nd segment climb are similar, rate of climb is less than what is typically seen during a normal profile takeoff, hence why it provides more time for thinking.

V2 and VFS are still respectively slower than V2+20/30 and 200/250 KIAS, so even there for someone adjusted to a normal profile CRJ takeoff the airspeeds do give one more thinking time.

Yes. Get your control inputs in and hold it on CL, and then you're performing like a light twin. Plenty of time to think.

With both engines running, it flys like a jet...which is to say it goes forward and up a lot faster than a GA prop job, and you cannot remotely level off below 10,000 and stay below 250 kts with climb power applied.

That's what autothrottles are for!

I gave you guys Sked+ mobile and now you want relocation incentive too?
This is a competitive environment and we don't want to risk losing additional flying opportunities.
