The article states "
Alaska Airlines, for example, flies the 76-seat E-175"- While you could argue the layman wouldn't take exception to this, there's much confusion, especially in Europe over scope, and why the US airline industry breaks down around the 76 seater.
This is a distinction that may become very important in the comming months as 'United" retire their CR 200's for example...
