***only exceptions would be if you want mia or lga, then get the 145
The above advice is the most sound. To re-iterate, unless you specifically want LGA or MIA as an FO you would be crazy not pick the 175 (growing fleet).
Those of us who had a dream run on the 145 were mid-late 2016 hires. The party is well and truly over on the 145 and it’s now simply a matter of replacement those who move on.
At rate Envoy is taking on new 175 airframes, that will be a massive expansion of block hours on that fleet.
