All this obsession with airplane makes no sense. What airplane you fly makes no difference at all...rather focus on career progression, base (assuming you live in base or commutability), pay, etc...lastly by a far shot should be airplane.
Well, it is a factor, at least in my case, and here is why. I have been out of aviation for a few years, just staying minimally current/reinstating currency. I have about 20 hours in a crj sim when I did flight training way back when, so it would be a familiar cockpit and make the transition back to aviation a little more easy. Obviously, the training can get anyone to learn any aircraft, but the familiarity would be nice.
