Also, I do have family in Denver which would make training/staying there awesome as opposed to SLC. Any insight on pros/cons of the different equipment and how long to get ORD on each, etc, is appreciated. I saw from a post a few pages back that it looks like about 5 months or so for the 175, but any other info is appreciated. Thanks-it's tough making all of these decisions, but also fun!
Many thanks.
