On the 900 vs 200 real pilots argument - sounds just like the 340 vs AVRO argument. But I will say it’s easier to fly the 900 if you learned on the 200 - the same cannot be said on the going to the 200 from the 900.

900 has shorter reserve in nyc on fo side at this moment in time as as measured by the December awards. 200 pilots are mostly seatlocked so there will not be much movement on that airframe for the next 6-12 months, at which point most of those pilots will leave for the 900 or upgrade.
200 is the better option to get to DTW or ATL a bit sooner, and hold a line there. Almost a year and a half to a line in ATL 900 fo...

Don’t bid equipment. Bid lifestyle.
I’ve held a line and had excellent QOL in my chosen base solely because I fly the 200. I don’t marry my ego to the length of my jet. That said, a 900 may be better for you, it all depends what you’re looking for!
