Alright there has been significant talk about which aircraft will provide the quickest path to a line.

So after much thought and analysis I think the 145 will be the plane to be on moving forward. The significant event this year is the displacement from the CRJs. This is most likely going to be ran this summer or fall. Yes I know they aren't leaving until winter but the bid and some displacements will/should occur before that.

So a displacement occurs when a position no longer exists or someone that is displaced takes your seat. My guess is that the ONLY FO pilots getting displaced are going to be CRJ FOs. The company will likely create a big enough vacancy for them to choose which AC they want. Very little if any at all are going to choose the 145. (Exceptions are for MIA or NY transfers.) This event is going to create stagnation on the 175 side.
