That's making people/company nervous.
What would make you happy? SkyWest announcing a contract to operate 50 E-175s for Delta starting in 2016? SkyWest replacing all United CRJ7s with E-175s starting in 2017? Is it worth giving away all of your plans for 300-600 aircraft years in advance? Hell, when anyone mentions the MRJ they say that is soooo many years from now....who cares? So tell me, who has announced any new E-175 flying past the year 2015? The answer is absolutely no one.
