Default Crj or Erj

To those of you who have ACTUALLY flown both, which do you like better out of the Erj and Crj?

Exactly. One can do this, the other can do that. One is certified for this high, one is certified for that high. One operator has this option on one, one operator has that option on one.

In the end, they BOTH pay crap.

A friend flew CRJ-200 and Emb Legacy (a beefed up ERJ), and much preferred avionics and performance of CRJ. Cockpit has more room too.

BOTH not careers IMHO.

Doubt it, the ERJ has excellent performance even though the cervice ceiling is lower than the CRJ. Don't know of any fully loaded CRJ2 that cruises at .78m+ at FL370.

I used to see .82 on a CRJ2 at 370 during winter; In the middle of Summer, maybe .80

I'm quite sure the MMO of the CRJ is a good bit higher, as is VMO.

Which ERJ's have you been flying? I know the XR can do alright. But I've flown some of the others and in cruise with the thrust levers in the detent, .75 was all it would do.

Everybody I know who has actually done both prefers the ERJ (I've never flown it myself).

dunno your experience dojet, but i've always had to pull the power back at 370 in an LR ERJ, even fully loaded, cause it'll go right through .78

we've got a few ERJ EP's though, and that's a different story all together, i pray to squeeze and extra percent of mach outta her. and normally fail.

The latter is what I'm talking about. Just becasue it is an ERJ doesn't mean that all of them can blaze away at a mighty .78. Downhill maybe.
