How much choice should aircraft type take into account? I'm interested in Piedmont because of nice base locations. They fly mostly Dash-8s though. Is that going to put me at a disadvantage applying to a major? Turboprop vs Turbofan?
Means absolutely nothing to hiring folks at the majors. Regional airliners are regional airliners.
I would not choose a regional job based on the airplane. As I said in a previous post, the only sorta-difference is that the 76-seaters are generally scheduled on longer legs, so you may fly fewer legs per day, which will impact how hard you work and your quality of life.
