175 far better airplane to fly. Schedules whilst same in credit has better "big city" overnights, you won't be spending time in The middle of nowhere. The pay is better on the 175, all soft pay is at 175 rate. other little things such as always a jetbridge, typically longer flights etc are nice too. If you're junior and not in Iah you will be flying the 200 much more than the others.

Jk, nothing wrong with a little passion for the 175. It seems like a pretty nice airplane. I got to ride in the back of one a few weeks ago. I was impressed.

For now it has been doing the "long haul regional routes " .
That won't last, evident in the latest announcement of its new service. SFO-RNO turns and the like will continue to grow. A regional is a regional. How long the honeymoon will last will vary. Say hello den-cos.

[QUOTE=M20EPilot;1880134]That's the rumor. An airline training event, particularly the first one, is I think one of the more difficult things anyone will go through. You will need to dig deep, have good study habits, and have good study partners to help out/help you out. A good starting point would be to read and understand "everything explained for the professional pilot", in addition to some general concepts of turbine aircraft. For example, if you know the difference between OAT, TAT, and SAT, or the N1 and N2 spools on an engine are, or know how an ejector pump works, how most pressurization systems work, etc, it will help.[/

As far as the 175 goes it's awesome! The FMS is quirky but other than that I like it a lot. i only have 60-70 hours in it so once again I can't give out too much info on it, but I do like it a lot. I'll pm you later with more in depth reasons why I like each plane.
