E175 order for United Express at Paris Show
Embraer announced order with United Express for 20 E175s with 19 options at the Paris Airshow. So who will get these..... It would seem CRJ700 are on the way out.
Text from the announcement:
The E175s will be configured with 70 seats and replace older aircraft in United's feeder fleet, likely Bombardier CRJ700s, says the carrier's chief financial officer Gerry Laderman.
Replacing older aircraft is a necessity for United, which can only have up to 255 with 70-76 seats in its regional fleet under its contract with pilots. It operated CRJ700s, Embraer 170s and E175s that, together, totalled that number at the end of March, its latest fleet plan shows.
Laderman describes the E175 as a "terrific aircraft" for the United Express fleet, adding that some passengers view it as "nice or nicer than some mainline narrowbodies".
United's regional partners ExpressJet Airlines, Mesa Airlines and SkyWest Airlines operate some 153 E175s for the mainline carrier.
Laderman says United will at a later date determine which regional partner will operate the 20 newly ordered firm E175s.

Does that mean that it will be a two horse race between Express Jet and Mesa?
With one holding a pilot group from the displaced CRJ700 and one that is establishing a pilot group for the E175 while trying to maintain E145 flying?
Also the other thing of note with Mesa is the fact that they recently hired a former United Airlines’ Senior Vice President of United Express Operations. I would of thought he would put a compelling case together.
Either way it will be interesting to see where they go.
