I thought it was going to be the “mythical” E175’s for American that would help form the foundation for the DFW/DAL base.

I heard there would be no CRJ growth planned for 2018. That was a few months ago. Virginia told that to a friend of mine when he was debating transitioning to the ERJ.

American loves the 175. Compass flies 175’s out of PHX for American. Envoy out of DFW and ORD and add 2 175’s per month. Heard Envoy was shifting their 175’s to ORD. Maybe, that is contributing to the rumor.

It has been a rumor since American signed their contract. Supposedly, 175’s are in the contract.

I don't understand why anyone would want to buy a CRJ at this time any more. If there was ever any truth to discussing 900 lite it was only for negotiation leverage with Embraer.
The road map forward is pretty simple. Other than AS (which doesn't have a scope clause) all mainline folks are scoped out for large RJs. So if there are more large RJs being discussed it is either a swap (like the DL 175SC which were effectively swapped for XJT/ASA 700's) or someone else is losing flying.

Everyone loves the 175 - most importantly the passengers.

Of course they only care about $ signs. But that doesn't mean that they do not watch the enablers.
Having passengers helps. Having people pay a premium for a more desiarable product helps. Not having labor unrest helps. And the list goes on.

People say that every year. Regionals grow and regionals shrink. Overall, when you factor in Xjet, SkyWest is shrinking. There is a shift from CRJ to Ejets that will continue as long as United as CRJ200’s and E145’s in their route system.
