West Coast-ERJ or CRJ?
Hello all,
Military guy hoping to apply to Skywest early 2018. Curious to know what your thoughts are on ERJ vs CRJ on the west coast?
I know Skywest are getting more ERJ's but will the CRJ still have quicker movement? (specifically looking at domiciles commutable from LAS).
Thank you for your time.

Having said that. ERJ is still the better option for west coast as a new hire. CA is a total different ballgame .... but shouldn't influence the initial choice.
