I think it might be. Another question is if it is a quick upgrade or not. Do 100 seat captains down grade to widebody FO ?

I guess you guys aren't familiar with the current UPA. It specifies the E190, E195 and CS100 as the only options for the New Small Narrow Body aircraft. I don't think the number of seats installed has anything to do with it, only types. United already approached the MEC a while ago with a desire to expand the definition of NSNB to include the small Boeings and Airbii and were turned down.

The Republic 190s were configured to 99 seats to avoid paying the pilots more...

There's that one Texas airline that still operates the 737-300 and 500.

This is ironic coming from a guy who needed the article in the OP explained to him.

Securing a pact would bring back some flying done by regional partners on less-efficient 50-seat regional jets, the article says, and would order 100-seat aircraft from either Bombardier Inc. or Embraer SA, the story says.

So what? This is about major/national/LCCs flying the 190. Different ballgame.

Which legacy carrier will be the first to advertise they don't outsource to ANY regional feed subcontractors at all....

It won't be AA; their idea is to offer mainline jobs to keep wages and work rules low at their owned regionals.
