Precisely. 15 of the 30 already delivered. 3 per month on the 900s till June to finish them off, then the 47 700's start coming. After that, if there are still FO's somewhere left in the world, will likely get the majority of the 40 CRJ900 options.

From what I understand the E170/175 isn't a stellar performer when it comes to hot/high conditions. I have heard that it goes often out restricted in DEN/SLC and Montana airports. Anybody know if this is true or not?

This is correct... try to fly the thing full from DEN or SLC during the summer, on a longer route, and you'll be leaving quite a few behind... and yes even in a Compass jet.

Left one non rev behind once when it was 104 out. That's it.

Yes. Back in the summer of 2012 I believe when Compass was doing some flying out of SLC, there were huge weight restrictions on the longer staged flights SLC-MSN/FAR/ORD etc... that's why Delta then decided to end the Compass flying in SLC, of course until the return at the end of 2013. On the shorter stage lengths its not a problem. The restriction is - second segment climb (thus reducing MTOW) - the CRJ9 sees it too on SLC-ORD, although its not as bad.

Montana is not that far from SLC, so you don't need a huge fuel load.
