Why I'm now re-considering the ERJ:
In the long-standing SkyWest Questions thread, there has been some chatter about CRJ flying at LAX being reduced and the ERJ seems to be picking up steam. Also, while LAX CRJ used to be somewhat junior, no CRJ FOs has been let into LAX in over 8 months, which could confirm the reduction in CRJ flying and downsizing at LAX. This concerns me because I prefer LAX over PSP or FAT. Aside from the chatter in that thread, I am hearing from several SkyWest pilots that the ERJ is really picking up steam at West-coast bases and it has better trips, plentiful flying, etc.
No FOs have been let in LAX for 8 months? The website says most junior CRJ FO was hired 7-27-2021. Not sure how accurate that is though.
Following this thread because I have the same questions, thanks!
