You're right - I think the scope says stipulates the maximum number of seats based on whether the aircraft is F+Y or all Y.

So are the E-170s going to be 9F and the E-175s going to be 12F? If so that will be a nice up-tick in seats as the Shuttle American E-170s currently only have 6F (according to Seatguru).
