They wouldn’t relax scope on MTOW without allowing more seats as well. That wouldn’t make any sense. The 175 now is capable of handling up to 90 seats, that’s why there’s so much more room in the EJets now. So yes even with the 175E2, you will still fly an aircraft with a greater amount of seats for the same b scale pay if scope caved. Just even more shinier for the new hires.
