Hence the reason for the wt limit, they dont want RJ guys if they can help it.No offence.
Hey fatbus, nice attack. They DO want RJ guys, but ONLY if your RJ weighs more than 30 tons. The CRJ-200 and ERJ-145 do not. HOWEVER, the CRJ-700, CRJ-900, EMB-170/190 all weight more than 30 tons, and ALL of the American RJ pilots getting hired at Emirates these days are guys flying those airplanes. Sorry to break it to you, but your airline is hiring RJ guys. No offense.

Last I checked, the bernoulli's principle works the same for the CRJ-200 and CRJ-700.

I'd argue the CRJ-700 is actually more simpler to fly. Slats for lower approach speeds. Overhead panel simplified. Takeoff and climb detents for set and forget. The CRJ-200 is older, more buttons on the overhead panel, and arguably a little work than the -700s or -900s.
