While I can't say I would chose an airline or a 2 leg commute for a specific aircraft; I can understand those that choose to do so. We are all trying to make our resume look better for the next job, whatever that may be. I think most pilots would agree that an Airbus type would make you more competitive, and of course southwest used to require the 737 type to even be considered. It is possible that the legacies would be more interested in someone with a 170/5 type over a 145 type. Although that is pretty unlikely it is a fact that most of the overseas jobs want a pilot with experience either in a certain type, sometimes a 170/5 or in an aircraft over a certain weight. The 145 and crj200 are both too small to qualify.

So while it may not be the best career decision to defer seniority or qol for a certain type, there is a remote possibility that it could make a difference in some certain circumstances.
