They will have to cut roughly 75 70/76 seater out which are currently flying. They have parked a whole bunch of 50 seaters but will still have scope room to pull thwm
back into service while being forced to park the larger ones. There is also a percentage cap of uax to Mainline NB which will be 120%. They may be able to cover that with just 70/76 seaters at the 153 cap but I doubt it. It’s all still fuzzy how it will play out
there is NO requirement to pull any 70/76 seaters. The only requirement affecting that fleet is to pull 6 seats from the 76 seaters if furloughs are going deeper at UA.
The only cap relative to mainline flying is on total UAX hulls. So they can pull either 50 seater or 70/76 seater.
my money is on UA keeping the large RJs
