Also, if you take the Bro you will be able to fly more than the 100 hours/month the jet guys are limited to. If I was in the Bro I'd probably be a Captain right at the 1 year mark.

Good Luck! They're both cool airplanes

Yeah the whole up-or-out thing makes the idea of a CRJ to EMB upgrade a bit nerve-wracking.

Is it possible to switch over to F/O in the Bro from F/O in the Jet (after the year seat lock is over) and then upgrade after a couple months of SIC time in it to captain? Just curious since I might be facing the same delima if the upgrade times stay the same...
