Eagle CRJ or ERJ?
 

I am scheduled to start training soon and was wondering if any Eagle folks out there on the line could tell me the advantages of picking one A/C type over the other? I am hoping for a ORD base, so my choices are the CRJ or the ERJ...or whichever is available. Thanks in advance!

More bases and more lines and more flexibility with the ERJ.

...i like your signature!!!! great attitude to start off your career! :o

The CRJ...You can tell everybody that you fly a widebody.

ERJ, more people to trip trade when you want time off.

ATR to start with. It will make you a better pilot in the end.

I'm starting with Eagle pretty soon and that's what I've planned on doing but they haven't been offering ATRs much lately.. like one or two SJU-ATR per class at most.

Are the CRJs a lot quieter in the cockpit than the ERJs?

I don't quite agree with this. I've flown everything from Navajos to Gulfstreams and can't say that any one is harder than the other, or that one somehow makes you a better pilot (just more "clerical" work to do in some - I can't say flying a cabin or balancing fuel is really that tough). That being said, if you don't know what the automation is doing and never learned the basics in the first place, there's an issue.

Stop trying to plug your BarbieJet to the poor kid, slacker!! :D

Everytime I get food delivered to me in flight, I am very glad to have chosen the CRJ.
