If you would entertain me, I have another question. Would you wait out a class date for Allegiant or accept
sooner training with another regional owned by a legacy flying CRJs? It seems that if you factor out pay, flying for a stand alone regional with no flow, and flying a bus or Boeing could be more advantageous in terms of TPIC/Type and the weight those carry over crj time. Any biased/non biased opinion there?
Like many here, I've been "around the block" for over two decades. And like someone just told you, take the first offer you get. Never put your eggs in one basket; especially in this industry. This industry is completely unpredictable and can change in a split second. So if you get a class date elsewhere take it, go earn that paper, and if your ultimate goal is Allegiant...well, when the opportunity arises reasses and make a choice. Any flight time is good flight time, especially if you are "low time". PIC time is PIC time, so if your goal is to upgrade and get PIC to go to a Legacy then do it at the place that offers you that opporunity at the current state and point in time in which you are in.
If your goal is to fly for Allegiant, then you will be able to achieve that even if you go for the CRJ for the time being. Turbine PIC is turbine PIC, regardless of it's an RJ, BUS/Guppy. Unless your goal is to work at a place that has a weight requirement like Emirates or even some cargo carriers. Even then; again... don't pass up a job and don't put your huevos in one canasta

Good luck brother.
