Where were you based and how many hours flown/month? I just said yes to the 175 and I'm feeling like it was a mistake (Best coast vs years of my life to upgrade). I have essentially zero turbine time - trying to plan the next few years. Hard to find E175 info. Thanks!

You can upgrade on the CRJ when the time comes if you want it quicker. On one hand easier to upgrade on a plane you're currently flying, but that will be a shortened training course. If you upgrade on another jet, you'll get the full-length training course.

MajHam, it doesn't matter what aircraft you are hired onto, you can upgrade on either one. You can also transition (FO to FO) between the CRJ and 175 before you upgrade.

I've been hearing and reading the roomers on the other forum. Do you guys think its likely we'll pick up any of mesa's erj flying out of IAH? Also apparently united has 15 erjs left to award, any word on that?

I'd like to see that happen in IAH but I think the general consensus is Republic will pick it up.

Thank you both. But I thought you were seat-locked for the first 2 years as a new hire? They're going to train me again in the CRJ just because I feel like my career is moving too slowly in the E175 after a year or two? Has that ever happened? ...doesn't seem cost effective for them.

I don't think you are seat locked for an upgrade out of new hire training. Only if you transition to another aircraft and stay in the right seat.
