Excellent and thorough.

I assume you mean prior turbine or 121 experience? I don't know the answer. About 40% of my new-hire class had no prior 121 or turbine time, and everyone did fine. The failure rate at SKW is very low.

Thanks!
No, but what's happening on the ERJ is that a lot of the Brasilia pilots are bidding over to it. The Bro goes away in May, so I suspect that new-hires wanting the ERJ may be waiting a long, long time (possibly 3--6 months or more) before SKW starts putting a lot of new hires in the ERJ. Sure, there are a few guys/gals who get put into the ERJ straight away, but looking at the bid list for the ERJ I am seeing a huge amount of Bro pilots bidding for it.
If I were you I'd go for the CRJ.
