There really no advantage unless you have a Boeing or Airbus type with some TPIC time on your resume.

175 definitely makes transition to 320 easier.

Sure, when it comes to the training. But you have to get hired first before going to training. Having the E175 type it isn’t going give you an hiring advantage vs a CRJ/E145 guy all things being equal.

yes I’ve flown both.
