I went from flying a part 91 CA flying a citation to right seat newbie in the bro. I was offered both Brasilia and CRJ, I requested first available - the Bro. It was a good decision in my case. I was holding a line in 2 months, and was in CRJ transition class exactly one year after my hire date (and holding a CRJ line).

Agreed about the West coast flying too, absolutely awesome! Some great experience too... In that first year we did approaches to mins, missed approaches, diverts, etc. The coastal fog in CA is very unique!
