My seniority would be significantly better if I transitioned to the 175 but I'm personally holding off because I don't want to lose my Delta benefits. If a Delta contract came up on the E175 I would transition and lots of other senior people would.
I guess it all depends on bases. I'd be more junior on the 175 if I transitioned to it in SFO.
It's just really frustrating to see your seniority in base get worse every month... I'm now 7 numbers worse off than when I transferred in 7 months ago.
