United is not maxed out on 76 seaters, but they will be maxed out on 70+76 seaters once Shuttle America has placed their 50 E175s in service (replacing the Q400s), unless they buy CS100, E190 or E195 aircraft for mainline.
In order for the total 70+76 seat aircraft to exceed 255 following the Small Narrowbody purchases, they have to reduce the number of 70 seaters to no more than 102. By the end of 2015 they will still have 138 70 seaters in the fleet (100 CR7s and 38 E170s)...so look for United to remove at least 36 more CR7s in 2016/2017 if they want to grow the 76 seaters to the max.
Bear in mind that if they keep the 70+76 seaters to a max of 255, then they don't need to buy the Small Narrowbody aircraft, so they have the option of replacing CRJ700s (or E170s for that matter) with E175s without needing to buy anything for mainline. They would be limited to 153 76 seaters and 255 70+76 seaters in that case.
United is not required by scope to reduce the # of 50 seaters until they have more than 153 76 seaters in service. Even with Shuttle America's E175s that will only put them at 120 76 seaters, so they are not up against that yet.
The only other consideration is the number of block hours flown by UAX as a percentage of mainline single-aisle block hours. I have no way of figuring that part out, so I will assume it is not limiting at this time. Mainline adding A319s would obviously allow United to increase UAX block hours under this section.

Here's something to read. United is buying more planes. Now they can dish out some more EJets. Let's see where these go.

"As an example, United said it now might fly two A319s, which have more than 120 seats, on a route that currently operates with three 70-seat jets. It then could use those 70-seaters on routes in which it currently uses the 50-seat planes."
24/48 is right 50 seaters are soon to be history.

Attitude mostly, sense of entitlement, etc. There are many guys/gals from Skywest at UAL that are great to work with, but there have been more than a few that have given Skywest pilots a bad name.

I'd be willing to bet he sleeps just fine at night without reading whatever you think it is you are contributing on here. Don't even try to explain why you are slamming United in a Mesa thread, because I for one could not care any less to read through your condescending vitriol and I'm sure many others here feel the same way.

And I'm about to take a little more time out of my day to put you on the ignore list. You're a real piece of work.
