Yep.
Maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see how replacing 145's and 200's with bigger planes is anything but good news. E-190's feel almost like mainline planes. And I'd take a 319 over the 50-seaters any day.
I have a feeling this is just like the A380 thread though. Rainey says they're looking at them, but not really looking at them. The only thing in favor of this rumor is that UA has committed to retiring/replacing the smaller planes with bigger ones, so maybe...
