Planes not on the website
Last Thursday, I stood by for an earlier flight on the Shuttle from LGA to DCA. I was scheduled to fly on an Embraer ERJ-175 @ 10 a.m. and got an earlier ERJ-175 @ 9 a.m. However, the 10 a.m. plane, which I saw out the window as we taxied to the runway, was either an A319 or A320 ( I couldn't distinguish the differences) but nowhere on the website are Airbuses flying between these two cities.
On Friday, I stood by for an earlier flight on the Shuttle from DCA to LGA.I was scheduled to fly on an Embraer ERJ-175 @ 4 p.m a.m. and got an earlier ER-170 @ 3 p.m. The AA website shows the 3 p.m. flight to be an ERJ-175. Nowhere does it indicate that ER-170s fly between these two cities.
American Way shows all American Aircraft but there is no Embraer 170 on the list.
Can anyone explain these discrepancies?

Is this the flight you're referring to? Seems to operate as an E190.
The other morning flights are (Republic Air-operated) E75L/S and E170 or AA-operated E190.

If your questions relate to the DCA/LGA/BOS shuttle, we have a dedicated thread on that:
LUS: (Almost) Everything you wanted to know about the LUS / AA Shuttle
Back in the US Airways days, it had been run by dedicated A319 aircraft that had special shuttle liveries.

Wonderful flight but confusing.

you must be flying on some obscure airlines because not too many (passenger) airlines still fly these.

For reference, AA (or its regional carriers, for that matter) does not operate any E70s. The ones flown by Republic were parked awhile ago when Republic filed for bankruptcy.
Distinguishing between an E90 and E75 would be pretty simple by the exterior, as the E90 would say “American” and the E75 would say “American Eagle.”
