Yes. Although I'm beginning to wonder if I should have taken the first available class.

Not always, I wasn't, but because of it I'm not seat locked. 8). They then came into our class the day before the systems exam and asked for three to jump to the 175.Pachong said:

As far as I know that new seat lock if "you had the choice" between equipment only applies to those hired after we got the new contract approved. So even guys who did choose before the new contract follow the old seat lock rules. Either way for me and you it's only a one year seat lock on the CRJ.

Word from the training department is that they're being very accommodating to anyone who requires "additional training". That's not to imply that they'll give you a free pass, but I believe the pressure will be lower than in recent years. They need FOs bad and if you put in a reasonable amount of effort, you should have no problem with the training program.

I was originally assigned the CRJ, but emailed and asked if it was possible to get on the ERJ side. The guys i've spoken with at skywest are awesome and very helpful. They are very accomodating and want you to do well.

Welcome to the future, where you do not have to build the airplane, just fly it.
Training on this airplane is very operationally-focused. Once you do the normal indoc stuff (same across all fleets), you will go to E75-specific school. In between that, you get computer-based training on the airplane.
In the morning, you have 4 hours of ground.
In the afternoon, you have matrix, which is our procedures/FMS trainer, and "flex" time. Flex time is for you to study, to work with your training partner on profiles, and for doing desktop-training lessons (DTS). In matrix you run the procedures you learned that morning with your training partner and an instructor. Don't neglect the DTS, as you learn a lot about this airplane and its very nice, shiny avionics through doing the DTS.
If you have questions, feel free to PM me. Welcome!

They'll give you the $7,500 bonus if you come with the respective type rating for the type you're training in as far as I know CL-65, or E-Jet type ratings.
SEA ER7 guys are holding that really quick I have guys junior to me (I'm on the CRJ) holding SEA already. On the CRJ side though, SEA is pretty senior, and I'm not even close to holding SEA. After about a year on the CRJ you should be able to hold any base you want.
Thx for the info!

The 175 school, when I went through it, was a breath of fresh air in many ways, TBH. I wish it was about that much (holds fingers up spread by about 1-1.5") deeper, but that's probably a byproduct of my "build the airplane" approach to understanding it. My own personal nerd-factor plays into that; I have done a LOT of my own reading that has come in somewhat handy, but they equip you very well for operating the aircraft.
The Brasilia school was "build the airplane," hardcore. It sort of had to be. I'm told the CRJ is "build the airplane" as well. We are about to impose our operating philosophy on the Tribe of Canadair as well, so we'll see how that goes.
But, yes. Our training department really is excellent. It's even more excellent when you come in well-prepared and ready to learn, so act accordingly.
