What does United’s scope have for amount of 50 seaters?

Unlimited as far as I know.

You're thinking AA.
UAL is up to 90% of single aisle mainline fleet.

For all regional feed? I thought scope only applied to 76 seaters and up.

Dear Bombardier and United.

Great Lakes called, they want their “innovative plan” of pulling out seats back.

Nah, 255 aircraft between 51-76 seats, not to exceed 153 76-seat aircraft for the larger RJ. Or at least that's what wiki says. But the 50 seaters - up to 90% of the single aisle mainline fleet. Bringing new narrow bodies into the mainline (E195E2, A220, B797 etc) unlocks additional heavy RJ.

“All new”

Wait a minute...this feels familiar....OH RIGHT! They wrote the book on this kind of "innovation" in Seattle #Premoonlandingtempcontrol

Boring Commercial Aeroplanes and "innovation?" Surely, you jest. glowers at 737Max

Thought the jab at the cabin temp control pre-dating the moon landing gave that impression...but ‍Meh

AA has a maximum number of regionals compared to our narrowbody fleet as well. Believe it’s 75% but don’t quote me.

In 2018 United had 96% total RJ to mainline narrowbody fleet. Hopefully they have a better ratio in their new contract. Unfortunately they have Kirby.

Don't quote me either, but for AA 65 seat CRJ700 counts as a small RJ, while for UAL it would count the same as 76 seat 175. Hence AAG converted its 700s to 65 (some up from 63 seats, some down from 70 US Airways seats), and United is doing the CRJ550 thing.
I believe I read somewhere that either <50 or <=50 isn't limited, hence all the 140s brought back from the desert last summer.

Let me look in the actual JCBA to see if it breaks it down better

66-76 seats is considered a large RJ and can’t be more than 40% of the narrow body fleet. All rj’s combined can’t be more than 75% of the total narrow body fleet.

I’ve never been on an AA RJ but if what you say is true then it’s a similar workaround. Definitely good to be educated about this stuff. Hopefully United can at least lower the total RJ ratio. Scope for all airlines would be better if it was max configured seats and not currently configured seats.

Strategic planning in the long run doesn't see OEMs making the replacement 50 seaters. Pilot shortage and all that. Beancounter word is we will eventually see 76 seaters with less frequency on the 50 seater routes and mainline flying the 100+ seats where 76 used to be.
Fingers crossed.

lie flat seats in a crj

called it, in July of 2017. do I get a bonus?

Never been on AA RJ huh? You flew one for a year.
