It will no longer be a 75 seat platform. They can add more seats to those fleets if desire if they are brought in-house and flown by mainline pilots…. The E175s flown outside of the mainline seniority list would have to remain a 75 seat platform. If the Union and management can make a deal on rates, the E175s can be brought in-house and have seats added in the spread the increased costs even more so. But you also have to factor in FAs and mx personnel as well will be mainline wages. So more seats would need to be added to offset the increased costs of bringing the E175 in-house.
