Mgmt is tight lipped. Too many moving parts.

The E-175, which has been the coolest jet I’ve ever flown is bit more of a challenge to initially learn, but once you’re out on the line way it’s easier to fly. It’s so much more capable than the CRJ. Once you have a couple hundred hours in the jet, you’ll wonder why you never went to it sooner. The down side to the E-175, is that it will rob you of your stick and rudder skills. Stay sharp and occasionally turn stuff off and be a Pilot.

25 min drive, no brainer... stay on the CRJ.
I’ve got a 4 hour drive to work and my commuting flights are hard to make bc of the reduced schedules...
It might actually be easier for me to hop commuting flights to ORD/DEN/SLC etc than the current situation.
But still worrying about making a commute vs. driving 4 hours and not having the stress or worrying...
Tough choice.
