There's not a doubt in my mind that we will take more orders, but the question is when. I wouldn't be surprised to not get any more the rest of the year. Expect the 175 list to stagnate and reserve time for junior guys to go up significantly. Food for thought.
I do not understand this concept of stagnation on the 175. There hasn't been a 145 delivery since 2005. That fleet is very stagnant...
There is going to be attrition on all fleets. The 175 isn't going to be the growth gravy train it has been but the door isn't slamming shut on attrition either.
Pick what ever airplane gives you the base you want and the best QOL. Commuting to Reserve is terrible. If you can move to your base and drive to work you will be much happier. Having done a two leg commute to reserve previously I opted to move and drive to work this time around. My mental health is worth the move.
