Envoy awards 175 and CRJ to fill operational needs then puts surplus FOs on the 145 instead of spreading them around. They may be doing this because they have a lot of extra training infrastructure for the 145 that they don’t want to go idle, or because they want to keep the 175 artificially junior so cadets report back to their CFI bros that life is good.
