How is one worse than the other as far as hard product? I will grant you that RJs are much more likely to be delayed.
Well I'm in Y 1 out of 5-6 flights. Not CPU's due to now being Silver. I moved much of my 2013 flying, and flying out of DEN, I have many other choices to assure mainline metal. It's primarily reliability. As others have stated, I do make connections now as a result, but so be it.
Asa shout-out, I am flying DEN-JAC next week on UAL for the first time in over 4 months. It's a 319. 1 hour and 10 minute flight. I guess mainline is needed on that short of flight.
