Airfleets.net says it's a mix of E175LR, SR, IGW
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.
Not that I work at compass but the E175 is actually a E170-200. The only difference between the two airplanes are the length and performance. They are the same engines, wing, cockpits... You wont really know a difference between the two types. The E190 is much more of a difference with a different wing, bigger engines MUCH better performance and so forth. The only training difference (atleast with what the FAA requires RAH to do) is train on the over wing exit.
