IMO, they could very well see a need for this frankenjet even if they added a 110 seat jet to mainline & got the resulting 70 additional 76 seaters.[/QUOTE]

im not at UAL but I thought your contract said the only planes that could raise the 76 seat limit are E190, E195, and CS100 (A220-100). I dont think putting 100 seats in an a319 would not allow them to add 76 seat jets
