Probably because the EMJ is not hard to fly. At all. Porter pilots talk about it like they’re taming a dragon.

Cut the crap dude. Just cuz you got a tray table that folds out, we’re all on the same team. Cool your jets. We’re all at the same flight levels

Also, have you flown the E2? If not, then you cannot comment on how it handles

Congrats on flying the flag. Maybe you flew the ERJ-190 at air Canada in the past. But I highly doubt you have any experience on how the E2 flies and just because you might be FO on a WB and think as yourself as god, many of us just like the simple things.

Jealous much? Why the hate? All I said is the EMJ is not hard to fly. Which it isn’t.

I have not. Based on my personal experience I can confidently say it’s not hard to fly. Any airliner is not hard to fly. They are just airplanes. Go fly a beaver safely. That’s hard. Get over yourselves.

So your opinion is absolutely baseless. Thank you for confirming. Your confidence is reminiscent of the Dunning-Kruger effect.

Agreed, the Embraer isn't hard but it is unpleasant to hand-fly. I've never said that about any other airliner. YMMV.

Well I’m glad you’re safely able to wrestle the dragon to the ground every flight. Kudos! Grab a drink. You deserve it!

I never said it was a dragon, and no need to wrestle. She's Brazilian and she's spicy. Coming from the Dash, a 737 Max, or an Airbus - the Embraer requires a more deliberate touch. In my opinion, the FBW and TMS systems still need refinement but they've come a long way since our launch. Earlier versions of the avionics software required significant foresight into energy management as we were developing our cost indexing. Because of the C.I aggressiveness, the E2 has humbled even the most seasoned of airliner aviators who have joined our ranks.

You must be bored, you don't normally float around on these threads, as you're usually in the AC side of things validating flat pay.

So you’re saying that you’re a better pilot because you fly an airplane that isn’t an embraer, yet you have no experience having flown an embraer? And that all airliners are the same? But based on your “experience” you for sure know that it isn’t hard to fly?

Yea, go fly the flag and wait for those gates. Say hi to STOC for me.

I love driving past you

Wow. Both of you. :roll: I guess it’s true what the new hires say about the E2 pilots.

I was inexperienced once too. It’s ok.

Yeah, it's true, we never sold out to fly the flag.

You can set the park brake on your ego, and go get something to eat. :goodman: :roll:
