Devil 146/RJ type rating

Well it may be the same rating on paper, but just as a 318 driver cannot just leap into a 330, there is a differences course and sim conversion.

As for Nil Further's comments. The 146 was the first commercial jet
I flew, and for that at the very least it has a special place in my affections
True, a normal line flight on a normal day could suddenly LOOK like a sim session with some of the transient warnings as the pneumatics wheezed into operation, it still remains the case that the aircraft with it's antiquated and overengineered systems, and superb handling qualities have so far not failed the crew and passengers in terms of being the cause of a major accident.

Excellent aircraft, what a shame the RJX project did not bear fruit.
that would have adressed all of the niggles and gripes that are associated with the marque.
