And many majors and cargo outfits are looking for underwing engine time instead of T-tail time, because they fly Boeing and Airbus. The ERJ is a mini-Airbus. The CRJ is viewed as a mini-MD80.
Too many LOLs to type. I still to this day cannot figure out where "engines under the wing time" came from. Turbine is turbine time. Period. Show me a column in any logbook ever that has EUW. having spent almost 2 years on both AC im getting ready to go back to the CRJ for a move to be based in domicile. Chase the QOL not the AC. I actually prefer the CRJ from and airmanship standpoint. To the OP, you might have decent luck getting to SAN on the ERJ, the bottom of the list keeps rotating in and out for people looking to be west coast. But as always its a moving target and could stop at any point.
