Last two bids everyone that came in is senior to me. I'm looking at reserve for the summer at least if not longer. If you want DEN and want to fly go CRJ. DEN is one of the smallest ERJ bases. DEN ERJ is stagnant while DEN CRJ is growing.

Thanks so much for the info.
Is there anyway to tell which base has more flying vs another?

Just my $0.02, but if you don’t want to sit reserve forever, you might want to think long and hard about going with the CRJ.
You’ll actually fly and... drumroll... hold a line right out of training!

This plus upgrading sooner. You’ll probably be a captain longer than an FO and the CRJ upgrades are years quicker than the 175.

From where I'm sitting as second to the plug in DEN on the ERJ it is entirely within the realm of possibility that I will be able to hold CRJ CA somewhere in the system before I hold a line as a ERJ FO in DEN.
