What good does another RJ type do for you? Not much, unless you have visions of overseas regional flying.
However, the risk of a training bust on a new type, with the attendant POI scrutiny, is real.
It will go fairly junior unless it goes into a 200-only (or Bro) base, where you could get a significant pay raise relative to the deuce.
Senior guys flying 700/900's in the west are not going to be chasing this thing.
