There is a ton of great info on this thread. Many of you who are in your early twenties are worrying about 175 vs Rj. My advice would be to choose an airframe that will provide you with flight time. I was hired in May - started ground school late June / July. My classmates have already started IOE. I chose RJ. I've had great instructors and on the RJ side feel that I haven't been waiting while twiddling my thumbs. Training has been quick and IOE coming quicker. if you are worrying about two years from now - then make your predictions and pick your airframe - but if you want to finish ground school and fly - in my novice opinion pick the RJ. Yes, the pay can't pay the rent if you're a guy with a family like me- but the people are good to be around here and unless they red stripe every RJ This year - you'll get to fly.
