Take the CL30 if you have a choice, negotiate a type rating out of the gate, and enjoy flying an airplane that actually has climb performance
. You may have to move, but your services will always be in demand on a CL30.91/135 flying is much different than 121; I got stuck in Dallas for three days with a broken airplane my first three weeks into the job here where if I was still at an airline I get on a DH and go home. There's also much more to the job than show up, drive point A to B and back to A, then go home. That said, my position has exceeded all of my expectations and I have no regrets about leaving AWAC...especially when I consider my current QOL and compensation.
I do very much miss the DCA crewmembers I worked with though...and that river visual!

As far as awac training, i thought it was awesome, super instructors that stayed and answered questions, very fair sims and overall a great time. I guess I'm new and am drinking the koolaid alittle to much, but I kinda like it here so far, as a new dca fo on reserve.
