And, you have considered Envoy and Republic?

Besides SJS and those beautiful wing-mounted engines 
Thanks!
Thanks!

Any additional info would be greatly appreciated.
I also understand the CRJ training is faster but I live much closer to Houston than Dallas, so I think at the end of the day Houston is the better option for me personally.

You will love the Ejet. The QOL is much better than those flying the CRJ.

The Ejet is more automated, like Airbus and Boeing aircraft. This can be more challenging if technology challenged. But, the automation helps with fatigue. I believe it helps prepare one for moving on to the majors.
