I fly the last turboprop at Contour so my knowledge on the ERJ is limited but i can tell you:
- The routes are all EAS so a lot of flying to the same places
- All part 135, you have the 121 time so i see why youre looking for PIC time
- your hotel will be ok to nice but not in a big city as all flights originate at the outstations
Me personally I want to go 121 and id be happy to sit copilot with actual seniority, a real bidding system, and jumpseat privelages. All of which you wont have at contour. Much more charter like than airline. They are working on CASS but thats been months in the making. Im sure some will disagree with my opinions. Just my 2 cents
