Airways scope only applies for the aircraft flying for Airways, not anybody else. IE you could theoretically put a 747 on the Republic certificate as long as it wasn't flown for Airways. That is why the 190s went on the RP certificate. Also the 86 seat 175s for Airways violated Delta and United scope. Used to be 76 seats, not sure what it is now.

Now that was about 5 years ago and things change, particularly since the mergers. Heard those 175s are no longer at 86 seats, not sure what they are now.
