Anyone knows if skywest will get more 175s in the near future?
Keep in mind also your # is company wide, so if you start class a few months earlier on the CRJ you will have both ERJ and CRJ people hired after you. In a year let's say you decide to switch airframe, the couple months might make the difference between a more desirable base, or a line vs. reserve.

Right now a few months could mean a couple hundred pilots below you.
