If the Company adds New Small Narrowbody aircraft to the Company Fleet, then on or after January 1, 2016, the number of permitted 76-Seat Aircraft may increase from 153 (as permitted under Section 1-C-1-a-(2)-(c)) up to a total of 223 76-Seat Aircraft, and the number of permitted 76/70-Seat Aircraft may increase from 255 (as permitted under Section 1-C-1-a-(2)-(c)) up to a total of 325 76/70-Seat Aircraft, except that once the number of 76/70-Seat Aircraft exceeds 255, then the number of 70-Seat Aircraft may not be more than 102. 76-Seat Aircraft (above 153 such Aircraft) may be added on a one 76- Seat Aircraft for each one and one quarter New Small Narrowbody Aircraft (1:1.25) ratio (rounded to the closest integer). In addition, in the event more than 153 76-Seat Aircraft are in United Express Flying, the Company shall remove from United Express Flying a number of 50-Seat Aircraft determined as follows:

The point is that the company needs narrow body lift desperately and they don't want to buy the only 100-seaters, E190s or CS100/300s, that would contractually allow more UAX E175s. Getting mainline 100-seaters protects us from further outsourcing down the road so obliging the company would be detrimental United pilot job security and options especially at the bottom of the list.

Yes it's obvious that the company probably doesn't want to be constrained by the contract they signed and will most likely try to weasel out of the NSNB clause anyway they can.
My contention is that any relief is WAY more valuable than a mid-course pay adjustment. It's not called scope-CHOKE for nuthin'.
One solution is for the company to buy more narrow body airplanes which clearly would help the capacity problem and offer job security to those pilots near the bottom of the list. There's no reason for pilots to give away scope, or even relax it, for the company to take the "buy more lift" path. There truly isn't anything preventing them from bringing more mainline aircraft into the system.
