I don't know why people mention this from time to time. No 79 seaters are being made to 76. The 79 seat airplanes were grandfathered from America west express. Scope limits new airplanes to 76, so any new airplanes have 76. Why the company spend money to/why would AA want us to have less capacity? The difference in pay is only like $4/hour.
