I believe they are talking out of their a**.
AA is just entering negotiations, there has been no scope relaxation. Scope limits are also why United is pulling this CRJ-550 deal and why there are operators flying the EMB-175SC. Even if nothing had been announced yet, planes will come out of service somewhere before Envoy will take new airframes in 76 seat configuration. There is no way around that without a scope change and no mainline group is willing to do it.
