Depends on the base. If it's crj out of msp by QOL is a lot better, crj 700 out of Houston (mostly all of it is 700) then it's about the same. Chicago I would say it depends. If you want trip variety or locals/two days and even three days then crj is better choice.
People eyeing the 175, chicago is pretty much been stagnant the last few months with openings, sfo and SEA are seeing more Brazillia transitions. The only openings in chicago has been from people transfering out to SFO/SEA. So really it's kind of a hit or miss what are you will get if you are told you'll be in the 175. I think more and more new hires are on the crj. Sfo got some new hires on the 175 because people have been hesitant to get on it because they are unsure of what the trips will be like. In my opinion it will get more senior as time passes.
