Even more. IDK the details of the scope, but it’s not just total airframes. It’s types(size) of those airframes. There is a percentage of larger RJs, and I thought AAG was pretty close to having as many large RJs as they could in the regional fleet. I think there was relief due to the 737MAX delay and I think (and hope for us, at least for the time being) that those numbers of RJs is based on narrow bodies and not wide bodies or total mainline planes.

But bottom line, there is a limit to number of RJs and number of large RJs. Parking every -200 and 140 and even 145 won’t give more 175s.
