604->850/2
hello baobab,
note, that there has been an upwards conversion from 604 to crj/cl850, but not the other way....
comeing from the crj, you have to do a full initial - you´re correct.
imho this is more a political issue: i was told, there are more differences between crj200 and crj700/900 (or take the dh8-300 and dh8-400) than between crj200 and cl604 -- airlineoperators can put a lot more pressure on manufacturers than biz-jet operators
(just compare the costs of the initial rating and recurrent prices )
