I don’t believe UALPA will relax scope, although UA would definitely be the first to make that move if that happened. Relaxing scope to fit the E2’s? Highly unlikely and that wouldn’t be good for anyone, unless you wouldn’t mind operating a 100-120 seat aircraft on b scale pay....
E2 175 isn’t a 100-120 seat aircraft... The only reason it’s not scope-compliant is because of MTOW. I can easily see UALPA relaxing the weight portion of scope, which would allow for E2’s.
