SkyWest will get you through training the fastest. 5-7 weeks from day 1 of indoc to checkride. IOE currently coming within a few days of passing the checkride as well.
Usually there is a wait for the ERJ to get a class date, but you might be able to get a class date in January for that.
For the CRJ, you can get a class date within a week or two but with your resume and your lead time, I'd try to grab an ERJ class date in January. It's a more valuable type, and learning the automation on it will prepare you better for understanding the VNAV you'll be using at mainline.
Either way you can't go wrong though.

SkyWest probably has the best “Sim” advantage.. they have 2 dedicated sim facilities with plenty of sims to handle even more training if needed.. they have 7 CRJ sims dedicated and 2 more in ATL with “first rights” (do to ASA) and and 5 ERJ sims.. they bought fancy FTD trainers that help bridge the gap. 1/2 day in clas ground and 1/2 day doing flows, FMS training... im going to be honey. They realy “dulled” down systems (as do most majors) compared to what we had to lear 20 years ago...
But for the original poster. “Recency of experience” seems to be the hurdle to getting through training at most regionals...

This is great information, thanks for taking the time to post. I have an interview with Skywest scheduled, we'll see what happens. moflyer - I do have an app in and am working on a few others, but didn't expect much with the lack of recency.

SkyWest is one of the only regional airlines that doesn't have a union. Make sure you understand the ramifications of this before you accept that offer.
