That is the normal MTOW for the 175. It's a scope thing. The Delta birds had their takeoff weights increased back in the NWA days. They paid some money and got a new piece of paper with the higher weight on it. The thirty-six 175s Compass has for Delta are the highest MTOW regional aircraft in the country.
