On the Co. forum, the CP became a bit aggressive, and insisted he was 'familiar with ALL the flight environments of the aircraft we operate'.
A colleague then pointed out the hazardous nature of the RJ security door, expressing concern it could interfere with an evacuation, and hinder exits from the Flight Deck. The CP then suggested the Flight Crew could evacuate via the avionics bay.............forgetting apparently, that the hatch to same cannot be opened unless the flight deck door is open.......DOH!!!!
Obviously not as familiar with the 146 / RJ as he would have us think. Ten outa ten to the guys who raised this point on the Co. forum, as they say, if only management would spend time flying the line - or at least reading their tech manuals.
Pity is that saying hiya to the pax is actually a great idea; its a pity the crap nature of BAe engineering design hinders it so much.
