You'll probably get the 700. We are real short on 70 FO's at this time. Scheduling will do anything to get you to your flight if you're commuting. The reserve on the 200 is much much longer than they tell you. They say 1 month but it's more like 5-6. Reserve on the 70 is over a year. If you plan to have an apartment or a really good crash pad the 70 may not be the choice for you and if you commute you may want the 50 purely because of the shorter reserve. I'll tell you right now the 70 actually flies like a real airliner and has alot more power than the 50, which is just a challenger with a 20' plug. The systems on the 70 are much more like a boeing and work much better. The 70 is by far more fun to fly, even though I have never flown the 50 besides the sim, but everyone else on line will agree. BTW, I thought the freeze was 24 mos and that only happened if you bid down in aircraft or something. Good luck with training and it's not as hard as alot make it out to be, especially with you experience. After hearing about some big name regionals maybe doing some furloughing soon, ASA seems like a good place to be.
