Type and Training difficulty (E145 vs. E175)

[trafficinsight]

And the CRJ is is referred to as "The RJ". What does that make the EMB, which is the exact same plane? The opposite of an RJ?

We call it the Dreamliner [emoji14]

NJ, the national jet.

Only skypest calls it a 175.

I believe Mesa calls it a 175 too.

Yeah, and I call y'all the "skidoo"

I call you all lame for caring.

Since many said it depends on the airline, how about Republic and Commutair?

Thanks!

I did a brief stint in the training department at Commutair teaching indoc/systems and it was a great group of people. It's been a couple years, but at the time at least, all the the instructors would do their best to get you through, including working nights and weekends in the CPT, covering the days material or prepping for a written. Show a good work ethic and a genuine drive to succeed and the folks there would bend over backwards to help.

Eh, I'd say more people call it the ERJ. Kinda throws me though because to me that always meant the 145 from working around it so much.

Piggybacking on to the airline training program:

At eagle the CRJ-700 program was the "laid back" one and the EMB-145 program was the build the airplane one.

Although a CRJ-700 is a CRJ-700. It was a different unfamiliar world when I sat in another airline's CRJ-700 when I jumpseated. The similar but different airline procedures for the same exact airplane throws you for a loop.

Eagle doesn't operate their CRJ-700 the same way that PSA operates their CRJ-700 just as Mesa operates their CRJ-700 differently from PSA and Eagle.

Yep. It's strange to jump into another airline's E-jet and go "well this looks sort of familiar, what you're doing, and I think I get why you're doing it, but it's still different."
