I don’t mind which aircraft I’d get but I feel like the 175 could translate better to other faster aircraft if I'm lucky enough for my career to progress towards that
If I were you, I would opt for the 145. You’ll start class sooner which will translate to getting a seniority number quicker. Seniority is everything at an airline. You’ll be that much further ahead in their “hiring boom”, giving you a hard line and your base of choice sooner. Besides, sooner or later you’re going to most likely be pushed into the 175 if the company manages to acquire more, which most likely will happen.
