Go-Jet 50 seat 550’s displacing flying there. Commutair trying to move in too.

”The ERJ145 is the backbone of this airline and our now-through-next-year focus will be to fly many more of our 90+ aircraft in revenue service. United has told us that there are plenty of opportunities for ERJ145 growth and UA-Network continues to stay focused on growing the IAH hub. We will continue to evaluate our domiciles as United starts solidifying their United Express 50 seat feed structure. As United focuses on competing with American and Delta in the New York and Chicago markets and the North East in general, they will increase the deployment of 3-class CRJ550s (we have heard as many as 50 by the end of 2020). This will see our footprint in EWR, CLE and potentially ORD change. United is very focused on capturing the business traveler markets in EWR and ORD as they compete against Delta in LGA and American in LGA and ORD with 3-class aircraft. This will make ExpressJet fly more in the South and towards the West. And, as I mentioned above, United wants to increase the number of ERJ145 shells we fly and wants us to increase block hours as soon as we can produce them.”

how does 145 flying compare to 175 flying? how many legs per day/any major differences to what schedule would look like?

Been on the 145 7 months have maybe 1 5 leg day a month. Usually a 4 day for me will be 2 2 leg days 2 4 leg days.

Subject to change ymmv.

Yep, 5 is outside the norm for sure.

If you're on reserve, you get lots of leftover flying that is often fewer legs and hours. This crackpipe is just like Twitter (or so I've been led to believe), it doesn't represent reality.

The 145 flies more legs as well as short legs compared to the 175.

As a pilot based in Houston for example, does each trip typically go through every base or pretty much just stay in Houston? Same for Newark and Chicago?
