The smallest aircraft Delta operates is the DC9-50. It's configured to 125 seats in a 2 class configuration. Delta does not operate any 86 seat jets. The CRJ900's operated for UsAir with 86 seats are in a single class configuration. If AA wants to maintain a 2 class product in their larger RJ's, they'll be forced to fly the CRJ700 at around 66 seats and EMB175/CRJ900 at 76 seats.
UAL may have unlimited 70 seaters, but that is the seat limit....70. No one has scope that allows 90 seats. That's a fact.
