Quick question.
I keep hearing different numbers on the hours you need before training. I keep hearing both 1450 and 1475 TT and the rest you get in training. Just wondering which was "more correct".
Im closing in quickly, and just wanted to know for planning reasons.

Thanks for the response! Okay....that makes me feel better that I don't have to grind it out so hard over the next few weeks...

What are the chances of getting awarded ERJ transfer after a year ?
I know there is a 2-year seat lock if you have an airplane preference, and 1-year if you don't.
And it seems that the trend as of now is pushing for CRJ for new hires.
I`m planning on coming to OO some time in September. I definitely don`t mind flying the CRJ for a bit.
But how likely are we to actually get into training for the ERJ after a year ?
And how does this affect our seniority/base and upgrade time ?
Thanks for all the help
Just being curious. Pretty open-minded and I`m away from home (Tahiti) anyway wherever I end up. Just looking to get good flight time and QOL

I understand the seat lock, and not planning on forcing any transition before the lock is up.
Planning on taking whatever is given to me, that way only limiting to a 1-year seat lock.

Not too worried about fast upgrade. Just wouldn't want to go back into reserve if I moved to ERJ after a year; that was my main concern.
Thanks
