I would agree with you if they didnt take guys from the Ejet family or the bigger CRJs... but plenty of guys i know in EK coming from the forementioned fleets...
Ive flown both the E145 and Ejets... can tell ya which one the monkey would be capable of grasping quicker...
So they are taking RJ guys, thats Fact.... why the wt limitation.... guess someone knows better
