AA and DL flying mainline. Makes it tough to stay with UA at this point.

Agreed. The only reason I stayed with United in 2014 was their service to Bangkok. For 2015, no such reason to stay with them.

Their RJ operation is out of control.

Well, the degradation continues. I couldn't believe it when I saw it on a third party search site, but United.com confirms it.

DAY-IAD service is now featuring prop planes for some flights. Q200 and Q300...not even something with a First Class. Some days are down to 2 flights daily on this route.

I just can't believe how far down UA service out of DAY has fallen.
