2. While it seems from the above statements that EXJ will not be getting them, they probably will since they will get better lease rates for returning 50-seaters (I still dont understand how that works, but apparently it does)
3. So they will announce EXJ will get these planes, the same day they announce they are dropping 3 50-seaters per 170.

The first of the United E175 hits the line first quarter 2014.
The 47 AMR 175s are being delivered to RAH at a rate of 3 a month. "Surely" you don't thing Embraer is only capable of producing 3 E-Jets a month
Lastly, the 30 E175s are not coming to XJT

That's how we know it's not TSA. They can't even hire to staff the 7 ERJs they already go.

Not going to XJT. Latest from BH.
"Most of you know that United announced late Monday it will purchase 30 three-class E175s from Embraer for delivery in 2014 and 2015. That announcement did not include United’s choice of regional partner to operate these aircraft, and unfortunately these 30 aircraft are not slated to come to ExpressJet."

Whoever wins will have a hell of a time hiring. Mainline carriers, will be hiring faster than 50 seaters are getting pulled. Something will have to give. Like the FAA furloughs, as soon as the flight delays and cancellations start,the corporations and lobbyists will have a fit, then the 1500 rule will quickly be revised or terminated.
Mesa is also pretty strong rumor as the winner of this flying. They've turned into a pretty efficient and cheap 70/90 seat operator. They are also the first iPad approved carrier, something our big strong "economies of scale" Skywest Inc has been unable to do for any of their subsidiaries.

I would agree that if these 70 seaters were in an addition to all the 50 seaters but that isn't the case.
( I could be completely wrong and hope that I am, lol)

Capacity will be cut at the regionals just as it has been cut at mainline. In 2000 Delta alone had over 10,000 pilots. Northwest/Delta combined does not have much more than that.
