The E175 order was announced at the same time they said they’d be permanently parking all 50 seaters (E145s)….by 2030. Looks like they got a head start by parking 43 of them already..
Primarily because PSA is fully staffed and could handle extra airframes. Those CRJs alone offset the 145s which aren't being 'parked' they are just no longer coming out of the desert. So the 175s are all gravy. Embraer being much better than Boeing at this point could probably deliver most of them in a year but I think it will take two. That's the 40% increase.
