So all reserve, cancellation, dh etc is 200 rate.
My recommendation is to start on the CRJ, get that time in, get to learn to fly a jet and then transition over to the ERJ. I believe this will make you a much better pilot.
I did just this, started at SkyWest in January 2017, upgraded to the CRJ in 2018. Flew Aspen and Eagle. Eventually in 2020 i transitioned over the ERJ. First 6 months i was based in DTW and then i was based in ORD.
Here is a motivator for you, 5 years of flying at SkyWest...
