Lets just assume they will add 39 more E175's to the fleet for a total of 153 E175's. That means 15 70 seaters would need to be parked to be in compliance with the 255 70/76 limit.
You must not have read my post above...UAL just annonced 24 E175s for delivery next year.. That's 255 by my count.
Year end 2016:
CRJ700 79
EMB170 38
E175 114
E175 on order 24
Total 255 (138- 76 seaters)
They have/had to park 13- Q400s and 36- 700s to get here. They can get 17 more 76- seaters if they swap them out for 70- seaters. Don't know if they have any more on order.
