What mr. train said.
V1 and you're flying unless something really screwy happens like (obviously) a dual engine flameout. It's simple. I haven't flown a 1900, but even in the ATR (which had relatively low V1's compared to the rocket ship-like speeds of the CRJ200) it always looked like the end of the runway was coming up really fast at V1. At 25 feet above the runway, I don't think there's a runway in the country that you wouldn't be off the end of if you tried to chop the power in an RJ.
