I am leaning toward believing Airfleets. Can someone please confirm that they have 36 E175 airplanes.
I am also under the impression that on March 1st they announced adding 12 E170 in the near future. So it will soon be 36 E175, and 12 E170. Am I about right?
I assume the new hires will fly the E170.
Thank you for your help.
you are correct, currently we have 36 e175's and starting in May, we are receiving 12 e170's.
The Type rating reads E170/E190 so the type covers all of the e-jets. Differences training is the only thing required (to my knowledge) to fly the 170 after being trained in the 175. So everyone on property will be flying both variants.
