The amount of WI and IL plates in remote lots seem to be pretty equal, so they may not be for the locals but for connecting traffic, they're still running it. Though, I wish that UA was change it from a CRJ to an ERJ.
With that flight as short as it is, it could be a flying boxcar with all pax standing up and it really wouldn't be all that uncomfortable, at least not to a noticeable degree. It's a nice pleasant view out the window and for whatever reason, it's often oversold (giving VDB opportunities).
As for "reduced service" to/from MKE, UACO has upgraded 2 of the daily IAH runs to CR7's from E145's which is a welcome change. Now I get bumped up to F on this elite-lite route every time, while before I was spending 2.5 hours in a cramped flying pencil (even if I was lucky enough to nab 12A).
