Yes, it does. And one thing that people need to realize is we are on a thin line with this 76 seat line in the sand. The 175 can and is certified to 88 passengers. We could fly that aircraft to its fullest capacity here at mainline. Keeping even 76 seats as a scope limit makes it even more economically viable to fly these airframes with mainline list.
I know some naysayers will state that the CRJ-900 is certified to 86 seats. That is correct. We need to make absolutely certain that we recapture or never all allow the seat scope limit to increase. It is always a fight in negotiations. We need to decrease it, and will do what we can.
Remember though that Ford-Cooksey settlement will pose issues since that is what EV and OH fly. Now, I see some possibilities happening there.

Just to scenarioize. Lets say they merge CPZ and OH together, then we have a real mess. Just think about that. IMHO time is of the essence, and we need to deal with this now. The possible changes to the Ford-Cooksey settlement would be disasterous for taking back scope.
