E-175 is usually about 3200 to 3400 lbs/hrish at .76 mid 30000's
today was looking at 2800-2900 at FL380 really light though.
He is probably basing it on what the Director of Ops has said and also based on his flying experience. CRJ9 at mid 30s burn averages around 2700 at mach .77 near max capacity.
Maintenance tech has informed us that CRJ9 Next Gen Enhanced version that XJ flies is about 30% more fuel efficient overall when compared to ERJ175 and these are based on the same destinations CP and XJ flies to.
