It's picked up a little, or I pick up open time.

Brace yourselves. (as I brace for getting called with the opposite of "I NEVER FLY")

Congrats! Get familiar with the cold weather alternate APU start and give the plane at least 30 minutes to warm up in the morning before calling MX for all the weird crap you'll see when you power it up in -10 F temperatures.

Press the start stop switch then the pwr fuel right after. Works good in COLD temps where the normal procedure might have issues.

Interesting. My former company operated 140 CRJs and didn't do this procedure.

I'm pretty sure that the relevant bulletin (which is somewhere on my EFB) says that Bombardier said "oh yeah, try it, eh?"

Type ratings: CL-65 EMB-120 EMB-145 ERJ-170 ERJ-190 M-202 M-404

LOE completed. Cooling my heels in MSP, with nothing on my schedule for the foreseeable future.
