Hey guys,
I've been an FO on the 175 for 10 months. Looking at future upgrade options and seeking some insight.

I have around 500 hours on the ERJ and 1100 hours in a Beechjet (I'm told this counts toward the upgrade since it was 135) approaching 2500 TT. Learning a new jet and upgrading at the same time seems daunting to me, but I know it's been done.

Would you recommend transferring to the right seat of the CRJ, then upgrading once I'm comfortable? I dont want to risk a training failure for biting off more than I can chew. Maybe someone who has done it can chime in here.

As a new CRJ CA, how far out is DEN or ATL? And would I mostly be doing 200 flying?

Thanks very much.

Edit: I'm not sure what kind of seat lock situation I'm dealing with.
