I believe the UA and AA scope limits are tied to the number of aircraft in the mainline fleet. AA grew their mainline fleet, so they could add a few more 76-seaters, but they are close to being scoped out. With their current orders and projected retirements, I think they have room for about 30 more 76-seat RJ, but they won't be able to go into service until mainline gets theirs delivered (or delays a proportional number of retirements).

So there it is. No MRJ70 but a new announcement expected at the Paris air show. A three class 76 variant of the MRJ project that is scope compliant. It would appear that with Bombadier removing themselves from the market place and with the E2 being no where scope compliant, Mitsubishi have decided to fill the gap. It will be interesting to see what they announce at the air show.
