Are all the EJets going to IAH exclusively? It's hard to see where UAL are going to find enough markets for 30 E175s out of IAH. Surely IAD, LAX or ORD are likely second bases? I know the CRJ base in ORD is closing, but my buddy at Mesa thinks that they will announce a 175 base in ORD six months to the day after announcing the closure of the CRJ base. He said if they do that then they don't have to move the CRJ guys over to the 175 as it will no longer count as a displacement bid or something?

Looking at the schedules YV 175s will be flying to the following destinations from IAH by December: AUS, OKC, ATL, MSP, MSY, DFW, DTW, YEG, YYC, YYZ, YUL, BDL, PIT. There can't be that many more routes suitable for the 175 that aren't already flown by Shuttle America, Skywest or ExpressJet? Maybe MEX, MCI, CLT, MIA, SAT, PHX, NAS, STL, SLC? Other than that there isn't much?
