I think that's an optimum number but IIRC most regionals are less than that.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but don't we usually operate at around 10 crews per airplane? If we estimate 500 crews on the E175 based on having a 2nd sim that would make the number about 50 airplanes. Only 10 more than we currently have a contract for. Call me a pessimist but 50-60 airplanes (40 UAL + 10-20 for another carrier) seems more realistic than thinking we're about to get a contract for 100 E175s.

100 ERJs is not unreasonable. But some 200's will certainly be parked in the process so I wouldn't count that as growth. Actually SKW will be lucky to break even in the long run.

News from the 175 school house is they are increasing staffing from 5 aside to 6 aside. Not sure on rest of fleet or for how long it'll be.

I will tell you this, although we are fighting to restrict scope and the leverage is on our side there are 76 seaters out there to be had with American. And in a communication email between APA and us pilots they directly commented on American's intent to place 20-40 of these E175 with SkyWest. I will not quote the letter but I expect the -200's to be traded for E-Jets soon.
