The outstation bases (PSP,FAT, TUS, COS) typically have very early morning departures and very late arrivals at night. Most of the pairings either start real early or get off really late(or both). It would put you commuting in the day before, or going home the day after a lot of the time. Living in domicile would be fine if you don't mind 5am shows or 11pm releases.
The recently added TAFB rig actually helps these folks a lot. Start early + end late = lots of TAFB. You can do a "crappy" three day but get paid like a four day. So yeah you get to bed at 0100 or 0200 but you're home...and you don't have to fly more legs when you wake up. I'm good with it.

Anybody transition from the CRJ to the ERJ recently? I'm curious how long training is.

I heard getting the Ejet as a new hire you could be waiting months. I have a 170 type. Thoughts?

Not sure. It is getting to the point that it's staffed pretty well, but there are more deliveries on the way. Just depends on what they need when you interview. If you are already typed I'd assume they would want you in class sooner rather than later. Your best bet would be to talk to a recruiter.

Thanks for the info guys. So it sounds like I'd need to dedicate about 5 weeks of time. Was hoping it'd be shorter than that!
Do they get you into sim quickly since you're already on property, or do you wait like the new hires? Also, are you still "CRJ Current", meaning, do they just put you on a CRJ line until you finish your IOE?
