canyonblue said:I have flown both, and I can tell you I really don't care. I did find that most of the guys I flew with that never had much round dial experience, ie:J32, and were hired into the CRJ as FO's, were usually Glass Cripples. If you have gotten this far and you NEED glass tapes to fly, you really aren't that great of a pilot to begin with.
When I was new hire at my last job, my sim parter was on the 32 for 4 years. He was just as much as a "glass cripple" as myself. Yes he was a good pilot, and all the other former 32 driver in class had the same complaints about trying to adapt to the glass.
The point of my comment wasn't about who's the better pilot or who has the bigger peni$. On your 6th, 7th, or 8th leg of the day, which would you rather be flying? The airplane where you have to look a 6 round dials or one 6 X 8 screen for all pertinent infomation. Sorry, I'm an airline pilot which means I'm lazy and like things as simple as possible, especially if I have to spend 12-14 hours a day in an airplane.
