Please, don't give an inch on scope, yet don't get distracted by it either. United needs good NSNB rates too! The E2-195 or A220-300 (CS-300) will be eventually replacing many of the A319s and and 737-700s. You're not just negotiating NSNB rates...

Keep in mind that even the E2-195 is 4 rows longer than the E195, and the E2-195 now has just as many seats as a 737-700!

(Yes, the E2-195 really has 120 seats in a three-class config...)
