I’m interested in the answers to your question. People assume he has the time to be legal to upgrade. Can you answer now?

if you transition to the CRJ that will incur a 2 year seat lock unless you are breaking it to upgrade in which case it is a 1 year seat lock. they may let you out of it but its in the PPM, sp3023.

The transition will be challenging, but not impossible for someone who has the experience. The CRJ has a lot of quirks. You’ll be learning a lot from your FOs for your first few hundred hours. Also, I don’t believe SIC 135 time counts... reference the regs or the Kelley letter.

ATL is all -200, den non DMA is mostly -200. this most recent vacancy award had DEN at CA at 2.5 years, last month had a few CA awarded to ATL under 2 years. just like financial disclosures, past performance is no gaurentee of future results. from what i have heard, we will be growing DEN in the next few months

i went right seat CRJ to left seat so i cant give you insight on your predicament, but you would go through the full course (about 1.5 months, same as a newhire). I flew with a few CAs that went ER7 FO to CRJ CA and they seemed to do fine.

I know a friend that did this upgrade/transition at the same time last year. Started in the winter in the Chicago or Detroit area and had to divert 4 times in the first month off IOE. It’s definitely not trivial but others have done it and got through just fine.

It does seem like there are more E175 FOs are upgrading to CA on the CRJ so I’m guessing the training department is going to have seen a lot of this by the time either of us show up to class.

ERJ FO- CRJ Captain isn’t that big of a deal.. the main struggle is missed approachs, and some of the callouts are roll reversed...
