If given the option to choose between the 145 & 175 out of ORD, which aircraft is presently going to be better overall for career progression as a new hire? Career progression, for the sake of this discussion, we’ll define as timeline from the right seat to the left seat (hours per month, time to hold a line, ability to pick up extra trips, etc.) and relative seniority gain.
I always thought the 145 was more junior, but the 175 seems like it’s a better option ... for now. What’s projected to happen to the 145 with all the upgrades coming up?
