This is the biggest reason to vote NO on this TA. Currently the cap is 70 seats (E-170 and 66 in the CRJ-700). To increase to 76 seats, means a larger airframe, which can seat 90 (CRJ-900 and E-190) in a one class configuration. This is letting the proverbial cat out of the bag. Once we move from 70 to 76 seats, you can't go back, and it opens the door to move to 90 seats later on. It doesn't matter that there is the 255 airframe cap. The 50 seaters are going to go away slowly, so there are going to be even more and bigger RJ's flying for UA.

Scope is the biggest issue with this TA. The work rules are worse than what UA currently has, not to mention LOA 25.
