Hey info..........
Eagle gives you a room for the entire training event. Not just systems. When you get to the sim, you get your own private room. The whole roomate thing does suck. We got that 2 years ago in the last amendment round in exchange for the increased first year pay (it was pretty significant -- it was really really low before..........now it's just really low).
And no, there is no training contract. That's been one of the big problems that they've had. People quit before day 2 if they don't like their a/c assignment. The chances of the ERJ are pretty decent, depending on your age. Right now they are giving priority to ERJ staffing because it is the by far the largest fleet type. Look at it this way, if you get the ATR, you can go to MIA after a couple months maybe in SJU, and if you get SF3, you'll probably be in DFW. It is our second most senior ERJ base, I guess because you can commute there from just about anywhere. And you'll have a line on the turboprop almost instantly. When you transfer to the ERJ, you'll be probably hold a line right away, because ever newhire that got the jet after your class will be junior to you. If you get ERJ right away, depending on the base, reserve could be closer to a year.
