Thats true, but the combination of LAN/TAM and AA is pretty impressive. Without Copa, UA's coverage is very Central America/Mexico focused. Hoping they add SCL now that the 787 problems seem to have gone away.
UA still flies mainline jets MSP-ORD. But it is true that United increasingly relies on RJs to nonhub airports (such as MSP).
That is true, but there are now some days of the week where MSP-ORD is all RJ. For example, today, june 23.
