They're really two different worlds, both with their own advantages and disadvantages. With the EMB, yes, you will probably gain (bro) seniority and upgrade much faster than you would in the jet (especially if you want to be out west). It's more complex and there's more workload, but it's also much slower than the jet, so much more forgiving. The jet is way more automated, but also much faster. ACARS is amazing, and I can't wait until we get the EFB (I flew one of our RJs that has an EFB the other day, it was deactivated, but it looks awesome). The workload is 1/4 that the Dash was (and the bro probably is), but the plane is also 2X-3X faster. I could go on, but I will agree with what many people said here. If you don't have any turbine time, the EMB-120 is a great transition to the airline world. All the Bro pilots I talk to love flying it. I wouldn't give up the time I had in the Dash for anything in the world, and most of them would say the same thing about the Bro. But I'm also really happy to be in the jet now, and while I would welcome the opportunity to fly a t-prop again, I would pick the RJ every time if given the choice. Hope that helps!
