I don't really get why everyone is considering the "new' order for 24 E175 a NEW order. The aircraft were already ordered and to be leased by RAH. Now they are being purchased by UAL. Getting to 255 with the "new" 24 E175 happens to work mathematically but there are really 39 more E175's coming whether we like it or not.
I'd imagine the heartburn for most is the fact that there's not enough money for more guppies but yet there is for more (more to Ual's bottom line) jumbo RJ's.
