While there aren't rates for an E175 or CRJ700 yet, the CRJ900 overlaps almost exactly with the E175 anyway especially at DCI, so I don't think that would be a stumbling block at all.

Those rates are:

128/hr year one up to 140/hr year 12 for the CRJ900 and the EMB 195 is 150-164/hr.

FO rates are 70 first year going to 95-112 top scale depending on which variant. That's hardly a "C scale" although I would like to see the 190 brought to 195 rates instead of being included with CRJ900 rates, but that's JMHO.

All with mainline work rules, benefits and 15% B fund.

And that's what the company could instantly do whenever they want. I don't think the DCI crisis will ever reach the point where the company will want 50's at the mainline, but you never know I guess. But long before that ever happened, there is room to transfer the larger RJ flying to mainline and the pay in place to do so tomorrow if they wanted to.
