What really annoys me is that UA once led the industry in making RJs a better flying experience. PMUA brought us ExPlus, with F and E+ and food (albeit boxed food). They even stated they were bringing IFE to the RJ fleet.

Today, the OALs have not only caught up but surpassed UA, offering Wifi and hot food on RJs. UA is stuck with way too many CRJ200s and E-145s without even E+, much less F.
