That would be an Embraer 145 twin jet
lel, MSU has to fly on a Brazilian plane. Couldn't afford the American or Canadian plane. Poors.

I've got a little over 1000 hours flying the embraer, it is an incredibly well built and safe jet. all the major airlines disagree with you regarding the brazillians because their future regional jets are mostly Embraers, except for American and the CRJ-900.
Also, while losing an engine can turn into an ugly situation it's usually a non-event. I'm training right now on the King air and we practiced 3 engine cuts today (one was a fire) and everything was just fine. I know real life is different then a sim but the point is we are exposed to this exact situation 100s of times over our career.
To summarize, brazillians are awesome and pilots are gods.

I thought the CRJs were common on the other airlines as well (DL and UA, for example).

I would not say it is a non-event, but it is something that is trained for by the pilots and is something that jets a certified to fly under those circumstances. Losing a engine and shutting down an engine are two separate events and the FAA follows up on both of them.

Watch for the VMC roll on the king air. Especially if the auto feather fails. Watched some poor bastard have that happen to him at KLGB back in 2011 and no one survived.
