Why would they be JMN people from the CRJ to the ERJ if it's so overstaffed anyway....

For reference, last spring (2015) when I was transitioning from EMB to CRJ, they came to the newhire class next door the day before systems exam and asked if anyone wanted to fill ERJ slots.

then when they didn't get anyone they came to my transition class of 14 EMB guys and asked. No one took them up on it. So I wouldn't discredit the poster. I saw this happen. It's crazy. that being said, once you're out of ground, they're not switching you. I have a few 175 friends who want CRJ and can't because of seat lock.

huh? Please elaborate.

You lost an engine. Less thrust = slower airspeed.

Lol really? Pretty sure you need the same airspeed to maintain flight regardless of single engine or not. In theory it's harder to control single engine since there's a greater turning/rolling moment if you aren't on the rudder properly.

This is it folks...

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.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ you peeps need a hobby...

Yup...

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.
