The training department is saying they're going to run at least one new hire class per month right now. Most of the Brasilia pilots who want to transition have already had it awarded with very few more coming off seat lock anytime soon. My guess is that they're just going to start sticking new hires wherever they need them whether that be the CRJ or the Bro. They'll probably have both CRJ and Bro new hire classes month by month. A CRJ and a Bro new hire class both started yesterday.

From what I've heard from people interviewing they typically ask you about systems on the most complex plane you've flown regardless of whether it's single or multi. For my interview I prepared like crazy to answer systems questions about the Seminole and then they started asking me systems questions about the Archer because I had more time in it. I would make sure you have a general understanding of each airplane you've flown recently. They didn't ask me anything too hard but asking about the Archer threw me off my game a little bit.
