Correct, the 145 (&140) and the 175 are operated as different fleets and dont even share all bases I believe. My previous operator had us crew both CRJ 700s and 900's.The 200s were a separate group of Pilots.
The most aggressive I've heard is Skywest, with crew operating the CRJ200, 700 & 900 on the same day.
That said, ive been sitting behind a big green 'a321' decal for the last 9 hours.
Wasn't the EK A340 near disaster in Melbourne a few years ago partly the result of mixed fleet flying?
