Yep. There may never be additional 175’s unless United replaces the last 20 CRJ700’s with 175SC’s. The opportunities may never “arise” since United is capped out on 70 and 76 seaters.
Usually, these priority positions, especially with regards to an acquisition, are written into the agreement as pretty iron clad. They are intended to ensure future business is awarded.
