Narrative:
In cruise at FL330, the pilot's windshield cracked. Pressurization remained stable. All checklists and all company procedures were completed. After the flight concluded, it was realized that the wrong checklist had been used. Our company requires us to be cross-trained in several of the crj series aircraft. All the different checklists are carried by the pilot at all times. We were flying a CRJ900 aircraft but unintentionally used the CRJ200 checklist. The checklists are similar enough that no consequences occurred.

Title: CRJ EXPERIENCES SINGLE PANE WINDSHIELD FRACTURE. PERFORM ABNORMAL PROC CHKLIST BUT FOR WRONG MODEL ACFT.
Narrative: IN CRUISE AT FL330, THE PLT'S WINDSHIELD CRACKED. PRESSURIZATION REMAINED STABLE. ALL CHKLISTS AND ALL COMPANY PROCS WERE COMPLETED. AFTER THE FLT CONCLUDED, IT WAS REALIZED THAT THE WRONG CHKLIST HAD BEEN USED. OUR COMPANY REQUIRES US TO BE CROSS-TRAINED IN SEVERAL OF THE CRJ SERIES ACFT. ALL THE DIFFERENT CHKLISTS ARE CARRIED BY THE PLT AT ALL TIMES. WE WERE FLYING A CRJ900 ACFT BUT UNINTENTIONALLY USED THE CRJ200 CHKLIST. THE CHKLISTS ARE SIMILAR ENOUGH THAT NO CONSEQUENCES OCCURRED.
