United annouced the order summer 2019 for the E Jets. They didnt say who gets them. Looking at the business side of things United is putting them at ExpressJet. I bet some sort of annoucment will be made in the next 60-90 days.

I agree. A lot of people want to argue about this and that but United has a plan but its a moving target based on how certain things shake out in the next few months. I would say its just shy of guaranteed that ExpressJet will be all E175s by 2023ish.
