DOH for the latest junior upgrade on the ERJ May of 2016. Junior for the CRJ August of 2018. Do you want to have some time in the aircraft you are going to be upgrading in? Are you hoping for a quick upgrade?
And everyone that upgrades as soon as they can on the ERJ goes to LGA. Next junior award to another domicile, which was ORD, is March of 2015.
Junior upgrades on the CRJ are mostly DTW and MSP with a few ATL.

If you go CRJ, you’ll probably upgrade to captain before he does lol. Very few people go to a regional airline to sit in the right seat for the rest of their career.

The CRJ has no VNAV, no auto throttles, no auto tuning radios, no auto brakes. All things that reduce the workload at the end of a 12 hour day.
Why is it that no one is buying them anymore? Only the 550 and that is just a way for Canadair to get rid of the 21 unsold 700 airframes.
I sat reserve for four months. You don't build time faster in the CRJ. You are flying about 75% EAS routes. Up and down doing a lot of 20 min enroute legs.
Can I tell you how many regional captains with plenty of experience and hours who aren't getting hired by the majors? There is a slowdown going on and will be so for awhile. The reality is your going to be spending a minimum of 1.5 years (and that's hussling) as an FO to gain the 1000 hours of 121 time (if you have none) before you can go left seat and more than likely a major will hire you before then. So spend two years on an antique CRJ or something modern like the 175.
I really don't care what you go fly but you really should be informed of what your facing between the two airplanes.

Lol, man you’ve got the “mainline coolaid” goin strong..
I sat reserve for 2 weeks and flew every day.
Again I emphasize FLYING the airplane.
You straight from instructing to flying a 175 with auto everything and you’ll never learn how to actually fly a jet.
You’ll be another statistic of 175 guys who go to CQ and fail bc they can’t fly without autothrottles.
You seriously think that the only people that get hired at a legacy are 175 guys?
El oh frickin el.
