Start with 35 of those and as RJs start needing replacement bring more of those 175s on board and bring more EDV pilots with them.

Link above gives you everything you need to know. Substantially more fuel efficient, and better maintenance reliability (99.9% compared to 99.4%) than its E1 predecessor due to new engines. SkyWest holds all future orders (100 A/C).
