Why do you choose the 175 as a new hire when you know you will be forced to upgrade to the 145? Seems like you’re just making life hard for yourself. No?
Haven’t you asked me this before? My answer is the same.
In new hire class I was offered a seat on an aircraft based in Dallas (home) or an aircraft based in NYC.
I chose the one in Dallas.
Had they offered 145 Dallas or 175 ORD, I’d have still chosen DALLAS.
Even if it’s only a temporary convenience, it’s a convenience nonetheless. If it’s “harder” because I have to go to training on a new aircraft (that I’ve already flown for 3 years) the simple answer is no. I don’t think it is. Training events are a big part of this career.
