To be clear the CRJ 900 does in fact have VNAV.

Best advice I ever got when choosing a regional was to ignore plane envy. Whatever you do, do not choose a regional based off the fleet. I’d say the only exception in today’s environment is to maybe veer away away from 50 seat only regionals. At the end of the day TPIC is TPIC. Choose a regional because of their ability to withstand times like these, plus having a base that you won’t need to commute to. It makes all the difference. Besides we know the chicks dig CRJ pilots

No....it’s a joke. It’s something that is said to make fun of people for thinking the plane matters. The company issuing the check is what matters. Period.

I haven’t flown both but I imagine the general complexity and handling between a crj/e140,5 can’t be all too different than an e170,5 (other than a marginally wider thrust centerline). The job of regional pilot is certainly the same.

^^^ Matters not, but there are advantages to getting experience in next generation aircraft. Nothing wrong with the CRJ, but its very old technology. No VNAV, No Autothrottle, No CAT3 and no RNP-AR.

It’s my belief majors would consider that time more valuable due to VNAV experience, which naturally would result in lower training costs for any new hire.

I’d say adding any new type rating places a prettier picture on the resume. Before COVID sucker punched the whole industry we had pilots going right seat regional to right seat ULCC to right seat Legacy.

You need to provide a link. For a short period I flew the 900’s including the newer Atmospheres. Both equipped with Vertical Speed/Speed Mode/Pitch, never VNAV capabilities.
