That said, I said this exact same thing a year ago when I got hired and took the CRJ for better QOL and seniority. Well guess what, all the ERJ guys and gals in my class have all been enjoying much better seniority than I have. The move is taking me from 66% in base to 45%. So really who knows. If your patient and don't mind taking a risk ERJ could be a really good gig, especially if we get more flying.:.
