I've been out of the game for awhile, so I was surprised to see 10 carriers flying under the Eagle banner instead of the airline as a sole entity.
AAG does own the 145s but contractually they go to Envoy plus the other 90 175 they have the option for.
The 145 has gotten much better and is getting more in line with the CRJ. When the CRJs were leaving and the 175s were coming online there were CRJ instructors that moved to the 175 so I would expect the 175 is comparable to the CRJ.
