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.
Air Canada pilots fly the E175 and up.
