For the record, Embraer's website lists the MTOW of the (currently flying in gaggles) E175 at 89,000-lb.

89,000 is the E175. The E190 is heavier. You are kind of making my point. They restrict the range to get the E175 down to 86,000. You can bet over the last 10 years Mitsubishi pulled out every stop to get it to 86,000. With the new changes I doubt it will even make the 87,300 they claim. The geared engines are heavy.

The legacies are not the ones sniffing around for MRJ lift.

What does Spirit’s scope allow?

However should a regional take delivery of the airframe to fly for Spirit or anyone else they would have to terminate their legacy contracts.

Exactly. The Embraers TSA operates have a limited shelf life and and they are looking for something to do when the 145’s finish up. If they operate MRJs exclusively for a LCC, then so be it. Better than not operating at all (from their perspective).

From: B757 clear left.

No on Scope. Mainline will fly them if they ever get off the ground. Don’t kid yourself.

I really don’t see mainline flying 76 seaters unless the pilots agree to Regional wages. That
Would be another sellout of new
Young pilots which has been going on for 25+ years at the regionals.
