Simply put, what AC will get me based in Seattle or Portland the fastest? It sounds like there are more flying opportunities(hours) in the CRJ short term, but the ERJ is the future and PDX is all ERJ if I read that correctly. Thanks for your help.

Don't take the CRJ if you want the pacific north west. E175 for sure.

CRJ is still running strong in Seattle, but if you want Portland, ERJ is your only choice.

Do most buy just the sport coat and skip the leather jacket? Is it warm enough?

Do people wear a random coat with just the sport coat or do they freeze on the pre-flight in the winter months up north?

Blazer is pretty much only for show. If you want to actually stay warm I'd recommend the leather for up North

Sure looks like they did... Incident: Skywest CRJ2 at Pellston on Dec 4th 2016, runway excursion on landing

Strongly recommend the leather jacket up north. When it's -25C on the ramp in Sioux Falls, the lightweight blazer ain't doing the trick.

I logged on to APC for exactly this info. I'm in CVG too, needing to get back to the west coast at the end of training. Looking like DHL might be the best choice, but I've never attempted to jump seat on a cargo carrier before. Is there a website for them? How would one go about finding DHL-operated flights, and listing for those flights?

Sooo...got awarded upgrade for next month, which is a problem because I don't want it. The class date given conflicts with master vacation I was awarded, because SGU thought it convenient to cancel that for my class. Already sent emails to V and TG, but was curious if you guys had any other ideas for postponing upgrade.
