If there are any serious negatives to coming in RTP i could go snag the multi on my own. Also curious if there’s any particular reason that one airframe is best or better than others. Looking for ORD/DFW both are easily commutable. Thanks for any advice! I’ll be applying in the next week or so!
When it comes to aircraft selection being an RTP has no impact.
Planes/base is picked by:
1. Company seniority (pipeline guys/cadets)
2. Prior 121 by time flown
3. Age
I'd go the route that will get you to Indoc fastest.
Aircraft selection: I'd go with 175 if you want ORD and the 145 if you want DFW. If you have no preference for base then I'd go with 175 ORD.
