Embraer S.A.: United Airlines to Add More E175s to... -- SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS, Brazil, June 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ --
SAO JOSE DOS CAMPOS, Brazil, June 15, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Embraer S.A. announced today at the 51st International Paris Air Show an agreement with United Airlines to add additional E175 jets to the United Express fleet. The agreement consists of ten firm orders, which will be included in Embraer's 2015 second-quarter backlog. Additionally, Embraer expects that United or one of the carriers that operates as United Express will convert options for 18 aircraft to firm orders in the near term. The ten firm orders have an estimated value of USD 444 million based on current list price.
Delivery of the first of these aircraft is expected in 2016. The E175s are configured in a dual class 76-seat layout and will operate under the United Express brand. The carrier's 76-seat jet fleet will be comprised exclusively of E175s. This latest acquisition is in addition to a previous order from United Airlines for 30 E175s in April 2013.

Well i mean theres just no way to know man. Its all up to that flighy on that day. There is decent amounts of flights. My advice would even be looking into two stops to get you there as well at places where our own metal links up at out stations and stuff. But its risky if you get stuck.
Id just go ahead and move to dallas if i was you. Its the cheapest and youll be home. But i dont know your living situation.
It is doable of course but commuting just wears on you man.

I hear lots of DFW runs are out and backs- I'm guessing Mesa doesn't put you up in your base, so if commuting, I'd basically need 2 places, or at least a DFW crashpad? Doesn't sound desirable- I know I'd be better off living in base... Will need to look into affordable places near the airport . I'm not at all familiar with the DFW area

Well, 10 would be better than none. Guess we'll see how it pans out.
Why are 175's only now the hot new airplane? They've been available since 2004.

No carrier has been named to operate this new order. So at this point it's all conjecture. Could they go to Skywest? Sure. Could they go to Mesa? Sure.
Skywest DID firm up options for 8 E175's to be operated under the Alaska brand. Is that what you're referring to?

It's a little early for speculation but I wonder if these will simply be added to IAH rather than starting up a whole new base.

United originally ordered 30 175s with options for an additional 40. They are just converting 10 of those 40 options with this announcement. Like a previous poster said, this is a United order, not a Skywest or Republic order.
