Skywest buying 100 E175
Yep. They ordered 100 E175. No word of growth or replacement.
There is an option for an addition 100 more. First 40 will be in a 12 yr agreement with United and operated by Skywest Airlines. Placement of the remaining 60 is undecided yet.
I say that there is no word of growth or replacement, because this can come at the cost of a 2-1 swap for something else, Delta portfolio could shrink and this be a replacement, or it could be straight growth. All I know, is that these (Along with the CRJ-700/900) should be flown for mainline.
