You either don't understand aerodynamics/physics, or you have very little experience in anything but a Barbie jet. I'm not saying all RJ drivers are poor pilots; just saying there are different skill sets. For automation and flight management systems I'll take an RJ driver. For stick and rudder, the prop driver. (everything else being equal)

I always said if you landed the 200 and 700 the same way you'd crash, or at least have a broken airplane. Anyway, just try out some different techniques mentioned. In the 200 chop the power at 50 feet, 700, I used to leave a little bit of power in until 10 feet as others have stated. Just don't chop the power at 50 feet in the 700. Also if I remember correctly you can get that thing to wheelie pretty nicely down the runway if you have the length, just don't appy the reversers when in wheelie mode haha.
