A 175 in a 76-seat config is comfortable. UAX has 175s in a 76-seat config because that's the max allowed for regional carrier ops. One can note that there are major elements of the RJ contract that follow DL 6/2012 pretty closely, including the 'add a new mainline type for more 76-seat RJs' feature.

A 175 in a 76-seat config is comfortable. We don't know how many seats UA might want to cram into a 190 or 90-E2, slimlines or worse. It might well wind up with fewer F seats than today's 175. AA is receiving A319s with just 8F.
