Ignoring basing options, is there any reason people choose the ERJ or CRJ? I’m hoping to join you guys at the end of the year, submitting my app this week.
Bases used to be the main reason people would choose one over the other. Now, the training delays on the CRJ side have been very long(2-4 months), for almost the past year. Which has not been the case on the ERJ side. Some people see the delays as a paid vacation so they do not mind. I recently completed training and the longest I waited was 3 weeks between PT and MT, only 12 days for IOE. Also, ive heard the CRJ side frequently gets 5+ legs days where as on the ERJ side we still get 5 leg days but not as often, yet to see anything over 5 legs in a day.
