Someone knows. But that someone will not share that information with the public, especially in this format. Every one else is just speculating.
My speculation is they will continue to have increased numbers of 175s, but they will have to continue to hire into the 145 soon as well.
There is a larger number of FOs hired into the 175 in 2016 that will be upgrading. There have been large numbers of FOs on the 145 that have sat reserve and not flown as much recently. They are trying to get the amount of pie to equal the amount of ice cream but there is a lot of knee jerking going on.
The truth today will likely change tomorrow, or the week after. Maybe both.
If you want to be guaranteed to fly the 175, especially both as FO and CA, don’t come to Envoy.
