Those aircraft do not compete with the MRJ or the 175E2. They're CRJ2/7/9 E145 replacements.The original point was you guys want regional flying in house. So why haven't you told your union that you would fly an RJ? Mainline guys do not want to fly regional jets. Again these planes are coming one way or another because current RJs are getting old and nobody wants to fly on them.
