Just to note.. this information from the UA website (on their codeshare).. when I checked Air Canada.. they did not have them in their system.. so go figure!!!! And it was 3 flight to E175 for ORD, and 5 of the flights for LGA..

Got quite a few questions here!
What about CRJ-705s? When are these supposed to enter service? Earlier or later than the EMD-175?
When will AC fully implement its summer skeds on its website? March, I'd suppose?
And what about future service from/within Western Canada? Any likely city pairs in Western Canada to use the EMB-175s and/or the CRJ-705s?
Regarding the last question I posed, YEG-YVR is one I can think of, because it has had a history of getting stuck with smaller regional aircraft under Air Canada/Air BC/Jazz and also under CP before it was taken over by AC. This is compared to YYC-YVR obviously due to lower traffic volume and that YYC is an AC hub, while YEG is not.

In the past when a new acft type has been introduced, it has usually been kept close to it's mtce base for the first while. As more acft arrive from the manufacturer I am sure you will begin to see them doing some western routes. I have heard that they will be replacing some CRJ's on routes out of YWG for starters, and certainly YEG-YVR would offer good yield.
The current battle amongst the other airlines in the west might change any plans that are being made as WJ seeks to protect it's home turf (as Clive mentioned). It likely will be a bloody summer profit wise for any carriers in the west. Fortunately, with the addition of the E75, E90 and CRJ705's, AC will have a lot more flexibility in controlling it's yield than the others. Business class will offset low Y pricing to some degree. WJ, Jetsgo, and CJ will have to fill 125+ seaters with lower price tickets while AC will use it's 73 seat E75 and later 103 seat E90's.

Air Canada is not tipping its hand on the CR7. If you look at various routes on the website, the E75s are shown on 3-4 routes, like YUL-LGA, YUL-ORD. The C7 is showing on some YYZ-Texas routes. But nothing is showing domestically for competitive reasons. AC isn't tipping its hand yet. I suspect AC will use the C7 to launch some new routes... for example, to Saskatoon, which doesn't have good direct access to Central and Eastern Canada.

how about a once daily YUL flight? Hehehe.. guess I shouldn't get too greedy.. but RDU is an excellent business market and F class is very important for RDU travellers (both to and from)

How about seeing the return of RDU-YOW? I wonder if the tech market has rebounded enough yet to support a daily flight?
25 Samurai 777: Is Kelowna going to see any CRJ-200/705 or E75/90 service?
26 Yyz717: YYC-IAH is showing a CR7 starting June 1st. The writing was on the wall for YYC-IAH. For the most part, the loads on that route can't sustain an A319.
27 Yegbey01: I 'd like to see a YEG-SFO... I know that AC has no interest in serving YEG, but that's a market that could be sustained.....easily I should add too.
28 Yyz717: Given that WJ flies YYC-SFO now, I see WJ as a possible on YEG-SFO/LAX.
29 AC7E7: I think YYZ717 has grown a new admiration for Air Canada.... Maybe a few more weeks, and we'll be hearing how great Robert Milton is!!!!!
