That's true, however the point is CRJ bottom line holder is a 2016 hire, and will continue to drop, while ERJ bottom line holder is 2014 hire, and will likely stay there awhile.

If he wants to get time, build his resume, and be able to have a better lifestyle and base flexibility, the CRJ, in my opinion, is where it's at for a new hire. Sure the lines might be a bit better on the ERJ, but that's meaningless if you can't hold them.

There are lots of variables, I know, but looking back I can say from experience staying on the CRJ in the long run would have been a better choice, fly more, upgrade faster, get more PIC time, faster, and move on.

Anyway, it sort of seems like he came here knowing the answer and was looking to justify his desire to go ERJ. If someone for whatever reason wants to fly the ERJ, no harm in that, but for the reasons I stated, CRJ is the way to go.

I'm reading everything as being a rumor (scaling down and so forth), have Skywest Pilots received anything internal? Or if recruiter could chime in?

This is all true, and more so given transitions are not being allowed. ERJ FOs are being seniority bypassed seeing CRJ CA awards 1000 seniority numbers junior to them getting the award.

Sure, they are pay protected but the real pay raise is getting to a major and PIC time helps with that.

I heard ERJ F/Os are struggling with the CRJ CA upgrade, might have something to do with it, there’s just not a lot of extra time to spend in the SIMs if they need help.
