I am sure they won't be making the old E90 in 2020. So yes, IF we take more, they will be gen 2 as far as I know.

Who knows, they could convert the orders to 2nd gen E175s and farm them out to Skywest!

Not likely skywest can staff 175s "on a go forward basis"...

Or its a free get out of jail pass. We defer deliveries so far back they don't make the jet anymore... if they don't make the jet anymore we can't be expected to actually receive these jets because they are not what we ordered. That either gives us a great negotiating position of the Gen 2 or we are out of the commitments free and clear. This is how it was explained to me by higher ups btw.

I still think the 190 has a place at Blue but I can see us going for gen-2 or maybe we just go all bus.
