The 717 is the right size, but what have been your observations on fuel burn (assuming you have DC-9 experience) ?
The E175 is 4 generations newer than the 717's type. The long thin routes are going to go there first.
For the record, I voted no and I fought to "capture" rather than exclude the E175's type (aka the Compass divestiture).
I like the jet, but it is built for more cycles than a washing machine at a house with 8 kids.

We should really try to buy a life limited low cycle jet and put it at mainline.
