"As United inducts the new aircraft into the United Express fleet, the company will remove some less efficient regional aircraft from the fleet. The E175s will consume less fuel per seat and will have less CO2 emissions per seat than the aircraft they replace."
Lets hope they stick to this and dont pull a ORD-SJU, its no good until two months latter and then its great again.
