As we all know, we have the CRJ program and the EMB120. Why isn't there a E-jet program for the Embraer 175 to mirror Delta Connection operations for (Shuttle America; Compass)?

You can get the EMB170/175 ratings from either the 737 or MD88 programs. Or are you asking why they don't have their own separate program?

Kaylan, before it can be considered to create a new program, there must be enough pilot interest and enough use and routes in the schedule to make it worthwhile. Then there is a tremendous amount of work that must take place behind the scenes. Fleet aircraft have to be found and tested, manuals have to be written, CRs have to be created, program staff need to be hired, and the system needs to be updated as well. It is not so easy as "we want this program so lets create it."
