Going to another regional likely wouldn't make sense, since the reserves probably wouldn't be all that much better than the one where I currently am. I have plenty of time in the 900, so would it be unrealistic to think I could get through training here without washing out?
Time in the 900 is not the issue. Flying a 900 isn't going to help you learn the Airbus. 121 experience helps to the point it allows you to understand what CRM is.
As far as you washing out, thats for you to decide;How much experience do you have, how do you handle fast paced self guided training, do you think you can learn a new airplane in 4 sims and pass a check ride from the left seat, and then hop in the right seat for IOE immediately after and learn proficiency in that before being signed off to the line.
These are questions for you to ask and answer. Fact is at this point, almost 1 in 10 are busting right out of training and a bunch more are pink slipping their type ride and they get to carry that with them forever.
