The -700 is a good plane. It is a lot better performer than the -200. The 700 will climb just fine into the low thirties and if light just fine up to the mid thirties.
On the other hand I would prefer the Avro RJ85 over the CRJ. More room, more stable, better short field performance--not that you need that in the U.S. except for a few airports, Aspen-- Decent high alt performance. climbs good until the low to mid twenties. Plus it has four engines. That just makes it automaticaly cool. CAT 3A, Auto Land, Auto throttles. Avionics not up to par with the CRJ but still a great jet fly.
-200
Pros
-Easy to get good landings consistantly
Cons
-Needs FADEC
-Needs more powerful engine
-awkward nose down approach
-Spend lots of time pulling and re-setting circut breakers (Spoilers Fault)
-700
pros
-Plenty of power.
-A/C works very well
-More Room in cabin
cons
-hard to get consistant landings
-problems with packs cycling on and off
They are cramped in the cockpit. The passengers hate them. They have no control feel whatsoever. It is the worst flying airplane I have flown in GA or the airlines. It does have the highest paycheck of any airplane I have flown so that is it's only plus. The air conditioning system is terrible. Auto mode automatically gives you full cold or full hot and that's about it.
Ha, good one.Know why the Avro has 4 engines? They couldn't fit 6. Ha ha, that joke still cracks me up.
The 200 is a pig. It is way underpowered.
The 700 is the nicest airplane that I have ever flown. I really didn't have any problems with landing it. I can only think of one or two that werent' decent. I didn't have any pack problems either.
VNAV would be nice, along with more room for bag stowage in the cockpit. I had to get rid of my DOJet flight bag because there wasn't enough room.
