C5 is adding more 145s, for a total of like 60. They have about 32 or so 145s and definitely going through growing pains. C5 CPP is 10%.

XJT is now the highest compensated regional first year FO.
Signed contracts with United for 171 airframes over the last 1.5 years.
XJT is right under 100 145s, adding back in up to 126.
XJT is also adding a total of 20 CRJ200s .
XJT is adding 25 E175s starting in April, with rumored 25 more coming.
XJT CPP is 25%.
Way better training at XJT and way more efficient opperation.
Better contract.

I see XJT as United's Envoy, and C5 like United's Peidmont. It's your career but to me the choice is clear.
