You truly are a broken record, I assume your house is decorated in ALPA colors and ALPA wallpaper

Personally I think the 175 is better. The trips seem to be higher credit and once off first year pay the hourly rate is higher than the 200 which is what you will most likely be flying as a junior FO unless you get IAH. A big factor is where you want to be based, the 175 has fewer options than CRJ with ORD being the most likely place but other bases aren't unattainable.
Another factor is should you still be here for upgrade, the 175 seems to be the future for this company/industry, it is a lot easier to upgrade on a aircraft you've flown before. The ERJ is slightly junior to the CRJ (a month or two) at the moment, subject to change of course.

No it's not that because you can still jumpseat on delta. The main reason for CRJ for senior people staying on CRJ is most captains don't want to risk another training event before moving on, the ones that transition as captains are usually staying long term. FO staying on CRJ mainly because they don't want to upgrade and transition at the same time.

I remember taking a 5:00 am van in FWA or something once with a MSP crew doing a Delta flight. I was *****ing something to the effect of "Why do they schedule 5 am flights? I bet you United's CEO never flies at 5 am!" to which one of the other crew members responded "United's CEO doesn't even fly United..."

Close, but not in the same universe. Senior guys are staying on the CRJ, for a series of reasons, the primary one is the giant cluster-F that SKYW has when a new fleet is added. Don't worry as the schedules get better, we will come on over and take your sweet spot. Afraid of a training event, it must be scary for you, to go through life afraid of your own shadow.
