Aircraft; Company Policy; Procedure
While flying in cruise as pilot monitoring the autopilot clicked off and the pilot flying corrected with power and we started to descend. I called ATC and requested FL350 and ATC approved new altitude of FL350.I would suggest better CRM.
In cruise at FL370 the autopilot disengaged and the shaker activated. I recovered per the pilot handbook and we coordinated a lower altitude with ATC.
At FL370 CRJ-900 autopilot disconnected; and when the stall warning activated the aircraft descended 300 FT during recovery. The flight crew request lower and continued at FL350.
