IOW have the reps you talked to said that the company has not asked for more CRJ900's, CRJ905's, EMB175's, Suhkoi, Mutsubishi, C Serier or anything else that can carry 76+? Or just that they aren't asking (yet) for something to actually carry 90 passengers?
As I understand the response from my reps:
The company has not asked to operate airframes with 90 seats. I am sure they have asked for more 76 seat jets, but I did not confirm that, just my suspicion.
As for the C-series or anything over 84K. I am not sure the MEC would play ball on any of those airframes. Again, just my assumption after a ton of discussions.
