Thanks!
CRJ training is much shorter, and the upgrade is faster (less than 6 months unless it’s changed...that’s assuming you are eligible for upgrade per 121 minimums). If I had to commute, I would probably go CRJ so you can upgrade and get out of here to bigger, better things. Whatever aircraft you choose, be aware that you essentially cannot transfer to the other fleet unless it’s for upgrade/downgrade. It is possible, but very limited at best. I live close to IAH and refuse to commute for this place if I can help it, so I’ll just ride it out and upgrade when my number comes up. I came in with 1800 hours of 121. Just my two cents.
