Want to fly? Take the CRJ. Want to sit reserve eternally and never fly? 175. This should be a sticky on this site, this question is getting really old...

Get on that seniority list now, dude. Your upgrade will come faster than holding off for the other plane and you will be flying and making more $ first year.

Because there are quite a few of you that come on to this thread and try to bring up the need for SkyWest to unionized. I like to bring to their attention that we have already had the opportunity and we've turned it down. Now the last vote was 8 years ago and nobody here cares enough to start a drive, the last guy that did went to Atlas. (thats how much hope he had)

Dear new kids,
Thank you for your interest in the 175. Waiting for a class date on this airframe will ensure you have the lowest possible seniority, sit the longest on reserve and spend your time at a regional flying as little as possible. If you plan right, you could also commute this entire time.
In other words, welcome to aviation. Pilots...the dumbest of the smart people.

I second the crj, get the seniority, transition later if you want to. You'll QOL will be better on the crj, plus you'll be ready for upgrade on either aircraft instead of learning a new one. Movement is full blast on crj side, erj has a lot of internal movement right now with new bases etc, 6 months from now may be a whole different picture on 185 but no one knows where the new birds will go or how senior.

Just so it isn't so easy for fence sitters, if i lived in base, could handle being on call, enjoyed being paid while sitting at home, fly three instead of five legs a day and didn't care about upgrading on an unfamiliar airplane (CRJ), I'd pick the EMB.
The Ord 175 reserve staffing has dropped from the previous ridiculous levels.
