I don't know that it is, I haven't seen any credible statistics to that effect. Then again, there's lies, damn lies, and statistics...

its a self study style course where you have to learn both seats and checkride in the left seat, followed by ioe all in the right seat. plenty of 135 guys here but they were at a disadvatage compared to 121 experienced crews, especially compared to e170/175 crews
How much of an advantage is it coming from a 175? The self study concept makes me a little nervous.

You should be good. First jet/121 airline was the 175 and we had home study. Wasn't a problem.

When you get to class find a group you can study with, it will make the whole process a lot easier.

Only problem I see with 145/175 guys is if they get task saturated they might grab the airspeed knob when they meant to grab the heading knob or vice versa because Embraer designed their FCU backwards compared to the rest of the aircraft manufacturers.

Other than that no issues with 145/175 guys.

Yup that happens for sure. Done it myself and seen others do it.
