I do have to say in defense of the RJ guys. Anyone who slags them off should try what they were doing, be it in europe or north america. Someone was peeing their pants about an autoland in Perth below limitsor some bull****?....Why dont you try hand flying a Cat 3A off a HUD in a 20 kt crosswind. No autothrottle, manual go around in an aircraft that wants to dive when you apply GA thrust (different thrust couple from the biggies chaps). Yes you do get Cat 3 wx with that kind of wind in some places in the world maties. 5 legs a day, blah blah blah.

Why not show a bit of respect? Some didnt learn to fly in a jumbo.
