No, your 1200 hours has nothing to do with what aircraft you were assigned. Keep in mind any FO can upgrade as long as they have the flight time and their seniority can hold it. You got the 145 because they needed FO's on the 145. Just like 170 FO's get the 170 because they need 170 drivers, not because they're previous 121, have higher time, look cooler, or any of the other reasons that get thrown around.
It wasn't that long ago that you needed to ATP mins to get the 170. That was all I was referring too. At this point if you have the ratings and a faint pulse you'll get either equipment. The only reason I wanted the RW cert was the bases. And it is "Mainline Republic" haha. Sharky is right about the upgrade, 2500 hours the right seniority number, and you miss a by-pass and you can pass the class you're in the left side.

Unfortunatly there is no growth. We're losing seven crj's in the fourth quarter of this year, ten next year, and the remainder in 2010. This is what B.B. said in the 4th quarter conference call. We are finally starting to see some movement which is good. A lot of the initial hires on the crj have gotten awards for captain. Your class shouldnt be online until May and I think you will probobly fly more than I did. I've done the math and with all the people upgrading I think that they are going to need one additional crj class after yours to fill the positions of the guys upgrading. Hopefully you wont get stuck on reserve forever. Try not to spend your time worrying about things you cant control and instead spend that time studying for sims. Know your limititations, memory items, profiles, callouts and flows down cold. What hurt me a lot in sims was not having any glass time and trying to figure out the afcs. If you dont have any time flying glass I would get some kind of microsoft flight simulator to get yourself familiar. I wish I had. Good luck
I do have glass time (CSIP here) but i am also trying to fam. myselft with CRJ stuff through a friend that took the course in UND.
Thanks..
