FWIW, the majority see's the CRJ700 and sees an annoyance, the CRJ900 and they see a threat, and the EMB175 as a WTH?
Had the EMB175 not been built, this would've garnered a lot less attention. Now to see a jet that is not an extended RJ flying and not a range limited BAE146 around for someone else, has gotten a lot of attention. Especially at UAL.
Heck, the CAL pilots see the Dash 8-400s as a direct 735 replacement and they're right.
And again, management, not to thrilled to have funded CHQ turned RAH turned Midwest and Frontier. I think next time they'll cut the next "we'll go it alone!" at the knees before they have the money to pull off purchasing profitable planes.
