I hope THKooj has an explanation for this.

Doesn't AA's scope clause allow larger aircraft to be flown with a 65 or less seat configuration to fit into the "small regional jet" group? That being said, wouldn't it make the most sense to just reconfigure some old 700's or even have skw fly the 175 with less seats?

Bringing the 175 down to 65 seats maybe doesn’t make that much sense, since it’s already an 88 seat aircraft that was brought down to 76 (SkyWest has some configured at 70 seats for Delta, and Expressjet 70 seats for United Express).
