I have a family and will not be relocating from home, so I will be commuting. ATL is an easy commute for me. 9 - 10 non stop flights daily from my home town.

If one was to get the 200 in initial training could you bid for the 900 once you have some seniority? I wasn't sure if the type ratings for the CRj included all 200, 700 and 900 or different subset.

What Kelvin said (about the 200 vs. 700/900), but other places fly all three variants among the pilot group (SKW and Mesa come to mind). It’s the same CL-65 type rating as per the FAA.
There is an 18-month seat lock now, but lately it has been waived due to the need to create captains. One of these days, the seat lock will actually become a “thing” again, I think.

I’m pretty sure I read that people hired last fall got their locks removed and moved to a different plane when they moved from NYC to ATL. Then again, I have slept since then, maybe I just dreamed it.
