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).
It’s been a long time since I’ve read a more untrue statement. We’d had E120 pilots (TurboProp, 26,433 lbs) who have “never” flown RJ’s get jobs with just about everyone. Several are headed to FedEx at this moment with others either in class or on line with JetBlue, Virgin America, Delta (last fall), Spirit, AirTran, Atlas, Southwest and others.

Here’s a question for you, when did the E170 come on-line and before then how did any regional pilot ever get hired?
