I believe SkyWest has one of, if not THE highest rates in the industry for 175s...so I wouldn't necessarily say they are whoring themselves out. However, there is definitely something afoot, and 600 aircraft orders last year wasn't just a fluke. Once the 175 is on certificate you can expect the announcements to gradually come out. The 200 is long from dead but the EMBs days are most certainly numbered.
