Although they could add a lot more.
All correct. The difference between the cr2 and cr7 is much greater than the difference between the 7/9. The only thing i'd add about the seating difference is that we're carrying 12 FC seats on the cr9/e175 versus 9 on the cr7/170. A small difference, but usairways felt it was important enough to stop running their cr9/175 fleet all coach and voluntarily reduced their outsourced seat capacity to add FC seats on their "express" product.
