There is room for more. But not 100.... Maybe 30-60.. Anyone know the exact number?
As I understand it from Mainline United pilots there is no more room for additional 76 seaters until United establishes a SNB aircraft. The contract is essentially the same as Delta's so I believe United would have to add a 717 type aircraft, remove 50 seaters, and add 76 seaters based on a predetermined ratio per SNB aircraft.
