That's assuming everything continues full tilt.
Low upgrades on 175 because of transitions in senior bases, some of which has to be done because that bases CRJ flying is being completely transferred to the 175. Once the senior bases are filled with transitions/transfers then you will see more ERJ upgrades probably into ORD.
