The only thing I really liked about the CRJ was how easy it was to slow it down in a hurry. Like Peanuckle said, you could take it 250 till the marker and easily have it slowed down and stable by 500 ft at the latest, usually by 1000 ft. Everything else kinda sucked, though: too noisy, climbs like a pig, hydraulic flight controls with unrealistic feel on the yoke, electronic gremlins in the cold, etc... Just not a very good airplane for an airliner.
