The way most contracts work is that you can actually finishing up through your sim ride with mesa and even start IOE. Typically the contract starts at the completion of training so if you do your first two days of IOE and than leave than you never completed training and should not be obligated to the contract. Think of how far ahead you will be with 4.3 of SIC jet time! At least this way you can get an SIC type out of the deal and a completed training evolution and the checkride experience and even get a chance to fly the jet so you will never wonder what it would have been like. You can tell war stories of flying in outerspace at FL310 to your brasillia friends.

I don't care who you are.......................................that's funny there.

My top ten reasons why I like flying the bro:
1. It is old school cool!
2. It is fun to fly.....speed isn't everything
3. It takes skill to be smooth with it and give a good ride
4. It can kill you if you become complacent
5. It is a stable a/c when in trim, it can be very heavy when out of trim
6. You can always challenge yourself in this a/c.
7. It is forgiving within reason
8. If something isn't working it just needs to warm up
9. If your bored flying the Bro, just add water
10. There is nothing quite like the sound of deep reverse thrust

Sounds like he's talking about the Saab!!!!

WOW. First off, id like to thank all for the help and quick reply. The thing with the training contract is that it only takes affect after passing the type check. You guys are now driving me toward the Brazilia. Im just worried I will get stuck on the emb much longer then the 1 year seat lock. Is it true, if i get in and fly the brazilia for a year plus and when it comes my time to transition into the CRJ I might be senior enough to hold a line or at least get a west coast base.

Two pages later and if someone already answered sorry..

If you start in the EMB, the seat lock starts on your date of hire After your one year anniversary you shouldn't have any problem transitioning to the RJ as long as they are running classes. The past 5 months or so have been the slowest in the past 3 years so we have some EMB FO's that want to transition and may not have been able to. With a year of seniority you'd probably avoid reserve in all except some of the California domiciles. This assumes that newhires junior to you are hired into the RJ later this year and into next. If you specify the senior domiciles only for transition it may take longer than a year. Many of the California RJ FOs are senior enought to hold EMB captain by the way.

In another year though the demographics could change, with speculation that the 18 UA 700s will be west coast based. If they don't decrease the EMB flying that would possibly add pilots to the CA domiciles.
