Of course, I've never flown one, so I speak from a position of ignorance. Any -175 drivers on here who can tell us?
You won't find any current 175 drivers here in the regional section. They are all in the majors since they are gobbled up at mainline immediately passing an EUW (engine under wing) checkride. Maybe ask in the majors section?
