I think it might be. Another question is if it is a quick upgrade or not. Do 100 seat captains down grade to widebody FO ?

I guess you guys aren't familiar with the current UPA. It specifies the E190, E195 and CS100 as the only options for the New Small Narrow Body aircraft. I don't think the number of seats installed has anything to do with it, only types. United already approached the MEC a while ago with a desire to expand the definition of NSNB to include the small Boeings and Airbii and were turned down.

There's that one Texas airline that still operates the 737-300 and 500.

This is ironic coming from a guy who needed the article in the OP explained to him.

Securing a pact would bring back some flying done by regional partners on less-efficient 50-seat regional jets, the article says, and would order 100-seat aircraft from either Bombardier Inc. or Embraer SA, the story says.

So what? This is about major/national/LCCs flying the 190. Different ballgame.

Which legacy carrier will be the first to advertise they don't outsource to ANY regional feed subcontractors at all....

It won't be AA; their idea is to offer mainline jobs to keep wages and work rules low at their owned regionals.
