Is it worth it to suck it up and commute to the ERJ, or be patient and bide my time and stick with the CRJ?
Thoughts?
What are your priorities?
If: You need to get PIC and get out because you have a job in mind for which 121 TPIC matters, then take any upgrade ASAP.
If: QOL matters and you have big reasons to be home, like family or kids or hobby or something else, then wait.
If: Money is an issue and you need that CA paycheck to stay or become responsible with your budget, then take any upgrade ASAP.
There are as many priorities out there as there are pilots. So my advice is to really define your short term, mid term, and long term goals, and see if that helps you make the decision.
