One significant difference I noticed is that no of announcement to arm the doors and cross check was made.

So I figured I'd ask the more frequent Sky Reagional/EMB-175 flyers here, is this normal?

I've flow on sky regional E75s twice in the last month and I can't say that I noticed any major differences. But I don't know if they are allowed to have different procedures or not.

In general though I never really notice AC crews being as rigorous as say LH crews in their procedure. I can close my eyes and hear "boarding is completed" and "flight attendants doors in park" in a German accent like I was sitting on a LH plane right now.
