CRJ or ERJ Rating for Overseas
If I had the choice of a CRJ or ERJ in a USA regional Airline, with the idea of moving on after a few years to fly one of these aircraft outside of the USA, which Type would be the best to get experience on?
Does China use more CRJs or ERJs?
thanks.

I am not sure which are truly more in use there, but I have seen about an equal number of CRJ-900's and ERJ-190's. Haven't seen any small rj's.
Granted I have a small airport selection. PVG, TAO, DLC, TSN, CTU, XMN, WUH, and CAN. They might have more at the smaller cities in between.

From my recollection I tended to see more of the China Express CRJ-900s than any of the ERJ170/190 family. But that may just be due to where I was flying.

E-190. Hands down. Far more opportunities in Asia and Eastern Europe. The CL-65 is very limited with airlines, and even more so on the corporate side. There are many E-190 operators with large fleets and large orders. Because of its size, the E-190 also has more opportunities to transition into larger aircraft. Several airlines are offering tracks to the Airbus or Boeing. Those offers aren’t spectacular now, but will become more common and more attractive as the demand for pilots in the West grows, and the operators here are forced to raise incentives to lure foreigners.

Friend of mine flew at Republic then went to China flying a 190.
