COEX Flights Listed As E170's?
Several travel sites (Orbitz, ITA, Travelocity) are showing some ExpressJet flights operating with E170 equipment over the next few months. I'm guessing this is just a glitch since AFAIK the CO pilot contract scope clause prohibits ExpressJet from operating planes of that size?

I noticed this over the past couple days as well. At first I was confused, but it seems that someone just screwed up on the flights op'd by Embraer aircraft. It would be nice though (perhaps in the future).

I don't doubt that it is an error, but how can they make a mistake like that? I guess someone keyed in the wrong equipment type somewhere, but don't those sites read a CO database directly?
