Never or generally?: https://youtu.be/COsT6DqkTDc...

Indeed, two really noteworthy CRJ crashes come to mind vs zero for ERJs and their funny yokes....

I do have a theory as to why RJs are safer: The non-traditional yoke shape.

I talk about it a couple of times a year.

There are very very few crashes of airplanes named RJ. Doesn’t matter if it’s ERJ or CRJ.

AND SUPPOSEDLY THEY ARE OPERATED BY LESS EXPERIENCED PILOTS, FLY TO SLIGHTLY TOUGHER LOCATIONS MORE CYCLES, SHORTER FLUGHTS AND SOMETIMES ARE A BIT LESS AUTOMATED.

I have no idea what leads to this exceptionally good record.

I dismiss Gabriel’s comment that all airliners are safe...Yes, they are all safe, but the crash counts on RJXYZ is extremely low compared to big iron.
