By all means if all things are equal then air frame choice can be a great tie breaker l….
Given a choice, pick an airframe and company that will likely be around long enough for you to build time and become marketable to a company that you’d like to retire from. Going to a regional with a large 70/76 seat fleet carries much less risk than going to one with only 50 seaters. The regionals are a great way to gain quality experience, but they are just a means to an end. Go where you can meet your goals in the shortest amount of time. Seniority at your career company is the name of the game.
