In our download section for our fleet I see there is a E170 but no E175. Can the E170 be substituted for the E175?

Well, the E-175 is apart of Delta's fleet, and in Deltava's Schedule if you search under equipment there are plenty of flights with the E-175, so I do not see how there would be any problem flying a flight with it as long as it can make this flight fuel and range wise. You might want to ask one of the staff or someone who has been here more than a week, but I think it would be fine.

Cheers!

Samuel,

Thanks for taking a stab at this, but perhaps someone with a little bit more experience and authority could weigh in on this?

If you are rated in the E170, then you can use it for any flight as Samuel said as long as it can make the flight with the proper fuel reserve (IFR rules are that you must have enough fuel to reach your destination, then your alternate if an alternate is required, then fly at normal cruise for 45 minutes thereafter).

So using "Find A Flight" out of KATL there is one flight with the E175, DVA5837 Leg 1. Is it OK to swap the E170 for the E175 on this flight using "Find A Flight?"

Doesn't matter what a/c is listed.
