Yes, they're out there. I remember back around 2005, guys didn't want to go to Colgan or Mesa because they flew turbo props. Now its the 50 seat jet thats frowned upon. I have heard stories from friends at RAH that new hires have rejected class offeres for the ERJ and Q400 becuase they want to fly the E175. Its the only reason they apply there. Its certainly not for the work rules.
