No news. But there are persistent E-175 rumors which IMO have reached the threshold of credibility. This may not indicate a done-deal on more flying but rather might be the company deciding to obtain a couple, get them on the certificate, and train a core instructor cadre. This would enable the company to respond rapidly to new opportunities (we may have lost one recently because we couldn't ramp up a new type quickly enough).
