The current E175s in the fleet have 76 total in a 12F/12W/52Y config

Not sure why they'd have to drop to 70...
The Delta mainline Pilot Working Agreement effective 7/1/2012 raised caps on 2-class RJs but set separate limits on 70-seater and 76-seater aircraft. These caps were raised as a function of DL adding a new mainline aircraft type - what we see today as the 91 717s. More 2-class RJs and the 717s allowed 350+ CRJ (50/100/200) and ERJ to go away since the peak of ~2009.
