If AA wants to maintain a 2 class product in their larger RJ's, they'll be forced to fly the CRJ700 at around 66 seats and EMB175/CRJ900 at 76 seats.

UAL may have unlimited 70 seaters, but that is the seat limit....70. No one has scope that allows 90 seats. That's a fact. ;)

What is DELTAS scope on 86 seat jets. Do not pat yourself on the back because a 90 seat airplane is limited to 86 seats!

If UAL & DAL have 70/76 seat scope relief, why would AA get 90 seat scope relief? Seems they could be competitive with 76 seaters. I don't think they'll get more then that.

DAL and LCC scope does allow 90 seats at regionals. I mean if you dont want to search the web, then look outside youyr aircraft next time at an airport.

Maybe you should look in their respective contracts. I don't need to search the web, I have my Delta contract available. Some people can't seem to grasp the concept of a seat limit. :confused:

Up to 255 large RJs are allowed, of which 153 may be 71-76 seats. Anything over 76 seats IS NOT allowed.
