I finally hold a line in ORD for October after 8 months. I've only flown like 15 hrs this month (including yesterday and today), I proffer RAP, they call the guys junior than me and I never get a call. After all, I sit home, eat my food, keep the same 75 hr salary and expend less money.
Yes but fly less, get less time toward upgrading, less time on your resume if this place goes south to get a new job, and less time in the plane that you will want for the probi ride.
How about this??? I made 500hrs in 6 months. My line is about 85 hrs for october. And I got here with 1500 total time, with 1300 PIC, so I have the time required by any other regional. Those that got hired with less than 800hrs are the ones that have to get worry if this place go downhill.
The probie ride is just another checkride, if you did it with only 40hrs of sim, you can do it with more than 400 hrs on the plane.
And yes, the CRJ you fly more, you will have more flight time, but not that much landings like in the ERJ. So I rather have more approaches and landings that flight time.
Just my .02 cents.
