I'm an hour N of DTW.
Girlfriend wants to move to Chicago within the next year, potentially, and I'm not opposed to it...Of course, though, things change.
Does it actually matter what you tell them in the interview, or are they just trying to get an idea and then you can make up your mind later?

ERJ vs CRJ
You choose the platform in the interview. You tell them your preferred base. Helps them plan their classes and flow. When I got my offer a couple days later, it was for the ERJ specifically.
You might be able to change later but I would come prepared with your choice.
Some jets support different routes and airlines, so that may factor into your choice. Others on here know way more about that than I.
According to their domicile map, DTW has only the CRJ and ORD has both. http://www.skywest.com/skywest-airli...es/pilot-jobs/

Hey, thanks! I guess I better make up my mind.

Also, you're most likely going to get assigned to LGA if you go ERJ. A lot of people start in the ERJ and end up doing Captain Upgrade training into the CRJ because they don't want to stick out the upgrade time in the ERJ.

How is DFW doing? are the lines there any good? I'm planing to relocate there by next summer, from what I have read here it is not that hard to get it right out of training but, what about after the upgrade? any thoughts on that?
Questions, questions.
This was posted on another thread, any comments on that?
Big growth for DFW. Bet NH’s get it.. new DVR shows 30 openings for FO’s for January 1st.
Tks.

Thanks for the help. Sounds like CRJ might suit me better. ERJ seems like an awesome plane--not that the CRJ isn't--and I've read the routes are more to the west (maybe?) which I would love. That being said, I really have zero desire to sit reserve in LGA (who the heck does!?). I could sit reserve here in DTW from the comfort of my own home.
That being said, does anyone have a rough guesstimate as to how long it takes to hold a line in DTW?
