Do you really think Delta, United, or AA care which type of RJ you fly? I can assure you that a EJet type is meaningless when put in comparison to a CRJ or a 145 type.
Btw...I laughed at that "automation" comment. Most guys are coming from a CFI background and you think that a CRJ or 145 is not automated enough for them?! Wow....
We all have our own agendas, for sure. I agree 100% that base, qol, career progression are the most important criteria. Completely agree. However, often these things can be a wash, so the next items to evaluate are things like aircraft type, length of reserve, min days off, length of training, etc. Anything else on top of the primary things we agree on. In a close race, all things matter.
