If its between the E170 and CRJ, haven't I heard of some majors not counting "Little" RJs for time? For instance, I thought I heard of one major who scoffed at ERJ time because it "didn't have leading edge devices." Seems like the E170 is a bit more what they are looking for if you are trying to get to majors some day (not trying to troll fyi, just repeating what I've heard).
The only place I have heard of scoffing at "little RJ's" was Emriates because of their minimum weight requirements that a CRJ2 or E145 don't meet.
The only US operator that I have heard any biases about is Jet Blue unofficially requires at least some jet and EFIS time. So 10000 hours all in a turboprop, no thanks. 9000 Tprop PIC and 1000 SIC in a CRJ200, welcome aboard.
