United Express carriers will be reconfiguring all E-175 aircraft to a maximum capacity of 70 seats and it is expected this work will completed by the end of November. Effective immediately, however, the total passengers that can be boarded on these aircraft is 70. For a time, you may see some aircraft with the 76 physical seats but only 70 seats may be occupied. To be clear, these additional six (6) seats, above the 70-seat threshold, may not be used to accommodate space available passengers or jumpseat riders.
