Hey, all. Similar situation, same question. I have a mid-June start date. I have a house about an hour and a half from O'Hare, so I definitely want ORD. I'm 43, so if Chicago is available I should have a good shot at it. Question is CRJ or 145? And why?

CRJs are going away, 145s are not.

...choose the 145 if able. if for some reason you were awarded dfw or lga, you will be able to transfer to ord if you're on the 145 - if your seniority can hold it.
if you choose the crj, you will be based in ord but will be displaced out of it as the crjs are being transferred to a different carrier. that means you will go
through another long term training.
175 will only get you dfw for now!
good luck

Or, you could gamble that the 175 will eventually get to ORD and go that route. With your age you would most likely get it.

Don't know.
Don't know, though Ric Wilson is on record saying it is a possibility in 2018.

I still hold true to the 145 if you want ORD though, it's the safest bet.

This is all the same I heard. The 175 is anybodies guess and I think a lot will have to do with how many options of the 90 additional aircraft we pick up. Already picked up 4 more so we shall see.

Have you ever been at the bottom of the list on a fleet that is scheduled to shrink and eventually disappear? It's not a particularly enjoyable experience.
