In addition to the mainline aircraft, in 2019 we will take delivery of 25 of Embraer 175 regional jets for use on United Express routes. Are these going to be replacing other large RJs (CR7s?), or is UA still allowed more 76-seaters in their scope clause? These will be 175SC, configured with only 7...
