Don't rule out XJT
Cozy,
I spoke to friends that say the training is amazing ! AQP initial.
The company has been flying the ERJ-145 for about 20 years.
It will give you a great foundation of training, if you are new to 121 Jet flying.
EWR base should be possible.

Good luck upgrading at XJT. Go read the "most jr captain" forum on XJT
Hint hint: 8 years to upgrade and that's just one of the issue, wait till those senior CRJ guys come over.

( Considering all of the high seniority Dash pilots that came over to jet.)
- with current fleet size
- with desired fleet size

P.S. even the pilots at XJT espect their upgrade time to get worst, and I am honestly not making it up. Just check out their forum, you'll see.

The guys/gals at XJT is telling folks to take XJT off their list and you are tell guys on our forum to go to XJT.

And our ideal number for 61 jets is over 700 pilots. So anyone coming in now will gain seniority quickly since we just have 293 pilots.
So what is the upgrade time with fleet of:
20 aircraft
40 aircraft
60 aircraft

We paused on upgrades because the dash guys were transitioning but upgrade has started again and we have already announced 2 classes for upgrade (march and april).
We are actually picking up flying from another carrier in EWR tmrw, monday and tuesday. So things are looking better.
