No, you find out in class. But my friend who just started there got the 175. Recruiters said it will likely be 175 as they are heading towards a large 175 fleet. Apparently they have been promised the next 20 175s on order with United to arrive next year... and they may be taking a percentage of the MESA 175s that have their contract expiring soon.

They said their priority is 175 as United has said they can have as many as they can crew, so they will keep throwing crews at that so they can grow the fleet.. apparently.

I interviewed with all the available operators for E3 and was offered a position with all. ExpressJet just gave me the best vibes ultimately and felt like the most stable option. Not really fussy about 145/175 but at least you have a shot at it going to XJET. The others you will get the 145 and only opportunity for larger gear is the CRJ550 at GoJet. Pick your posion!
