UAL Scope, Jan 2016, 70 seat aircraft
After Jan 2016, It looks like UAL will have to reduce the number of 70 seat aircraft to 102 to increase the number of 76 seat aircraft to the maximum of 153 allowed by the scope clause. Even if UAL adds a 100 seat narrow body, which will increase to number of 76 seat aircraft allowed by scope, the optimal number of 70 seat aircraft will remain 102.
So, who is losing 70 seat airplanes? This would really only effect CRJ700s and E170s.
The link below is the simplest description of the United scope clause. It's 3 years old, but I don't think the clause has changed since then.

1-C-1-a-(2)-(c) Up to a total of 255 76-Seat Aircraft plus 70-Seat Aircraft (“76/70- Seat Aircraft”), of which up to 130 may be 76-Seat Aircraft, and then, on or after January 1, 2016, up to 153 76-Seat Aircraft.
The UAX fleet plan for 1/1/16 includes,
Q400...........20
CRJ700......115
EMB170.......38
TTL70... ..173
EMB175.......82
TTL70/76.255
So the company can add 20 EMB175s by parking the Q400s and another 51 175s if they park an equal # of CRJ700s or EMB170s.
