If you want SAN/SEA then it’s ERJ for you. If LAX/SFO are what you want, they’re both doable in a couple months after IOE in either plane. You’ll likely fly more in the CRJ which will equal more money and getting ready to upgrade faster, but less time off.

The key is to live in base though. I know a guy who commutes from FL to DTW, but avoid commuting if at all possible. My life did a 180 when I got based half an hour from my house. I still don’t get paid much, but life is much easier and I’m not spending half my pay on crappy hotel rooms.
