Thanks for any input—I will pass along.
If your friend interviewed sometime before January and said he wanted the ERJ he's good. But if he has not interviewed he's not going to be offered an ERJ slot. They apparently met their quota for ERJ pilots for 2019. A friend recently interviewed and was offered a position but was told it would be the Q400 because they don't need ERJ pilots for 2019. Bottom line regardless there is a huge wait time before getting a school date. It's a great company but they have long wait times even for the Q400. I might get a class 6 months from my original job offer and that's a big maybe. They still need pilots but not like a year ago.
