That is true. $5k bonus on E145/Crj700. To make it $22,100. Subtract that by $5K if you select the E175.
Under the wing engine, more Pax, and Auto Throttles / VNAV... makes it more appealing to people for some reason.
I would not recommend taking a $5k hit on pay to work a different equipment. At the end of the day, it is a job & the risk & efforts and pay rates are the same. Take the money & base.
Only positive I see is getting DFW right away vs after training & the Emb170/190 type rating IF your plans are to eventually fly OVERSEAS (EU, Asia, Middle East, etc) in the future.
