No they dont. It is a standard 175 - just fewer seats. Chip even said it on the last earnings call that they can easily reconfigured.
The only reason we do that is for SCOPE. They are replaced my the ASS 700 that were coming off contract early.

So, they are not doing it by leaving the seats in place with a physical barrier installed across the seat preventing people from sitting in it? A barrier that a mechanic can easily remove? Seen this done on other jets.

I figured this was to get around United being maxed out on their scope clause for 76 seaters.

Yeah. A little more difficult to install seats than to simply remove a barrier.

3rd FA jumpseat that most likely won't be able to be occupied.

Guess daddy D doesn’t want to lose one seat for FA training on those “premium” routes they want those birds to fly.

Man you really don't know the story do you.

The DAL deal in DTW is what saved CC. And karma bit him in the a-- on your UAL 700s.

Yep and who pushed him/power played him out? Thaaaaats right. So BR is still his boss. He just never saw it coming. The game plan back then was to move away from DAL. But after the musical chairs...well the plan shifted back towards DAL.
