Alaska has options for around 30 more 175s but who knows where those will go (meaning Horizon or SkyWest).

Really depends where you commute from, how many flights per day your city has, etc.... At the moment, it can be a pain with the runway closure at SEA (until early December), causing arrival delays and worse case cancellations.... Where I commute from is typically uneventful.
