No one cares what kind of plane you fly. It's all about QOL.
I was living in DFW prior to being hired by Eagle and chose them for the reason of living in base. Well when I showed up for class the guy 1 number senior to me took the last E-145 slot (just prior to taking all the CRJs out of DFW) and I was assigned the CRJ-700 out of LGA. Spent 2 months in LGA on reserve commuting then transferred to ORD and held a line when I first transferred. Once AMR declared bankrupcy I was able to proffer to displace off of the CRJ to the EMB in DFW. Did I enjoy my time flying the CRJ? sure. But the airplane you fly should not be a factor in your choices of employers. I love being based at home and have no complaints about my choice. I do wish I made more money but that's the reality of all regional pilots.
QOL is what it is all about.

Yea, the choice is yours. Max FO pay on a 99 seat aircraft, $36 an hour and NO cancelation pay. Max FO pay on a 50 seater, $44 an hour WITH cancelation pay, double the 401K contribution, more soft time provisions than most majors, best vacation rules in the industry, complete control of your schedule if you understand the system, ect. What a joke dude, you are completely clueless.

Yea because the 50 seater is what all the majors want us contractors to be flying. LOL enjoy that super pay for your 50 seater as they get sent to the desert. Make no mistake regionals will shrink just as the majors have. Anyone who actually thinks your company will need the same number of pilots in the future as they do today is a fool. That goes for any regional with 50 seaters btw
A smart pilot once said that you will know if you made the right choices when you retire.
