To add, everything I ever see about the 175 E2 is that it keeps getting delayed because of scope issues. Notice that there hasn’t been an actual 175 E2 test aircraft built yet? If US carriers don’t give up scope I’ll be surprised if the 175 E2 is ever built. Skywest is the only carrier in the world with firm 175 E2 orders. Also, the max takeoff weight is almost 99,000 pounds. I forget exact weight scopes but they’re somewhere around 86,000 pounds. I hope the only way we see next gen 175s in the US is if they’re flown by mainline.
