I’m not stirring the pot, I’m genuinely interested to see how the cards are currently stacked.
AA scope is a little different than UA or DL. AA isn’t a hard number, but a percentage of the number of narrowbody hulls at mainline. And of the number that results from that, a certain percentage is allotted for “small” RJs (65 seats or less regardless of type) and for “large” (66 seats or more). They are reconfiguring all of the CR7s across Eagle to be 65 seats from what I understand, allowing for more large RJs to be added. Not sure the exact number of hulls of each type currently in service and the max allowed based on current mainline NB fleet size.
