Not exactly stuck. As the pilot's forum points out, those aircraft have long since been depreciated to scrap value and UA is currently scoped out on 70 seaters, with no limit on 50 seater RJs.
Maybe AWAC's plan is to fly them till the wings fall off and then shut down the airline. Or they could plan to transition to operating company-owned regional aircraft, shifting the capex risk to the airlines. Either way, they're doing fine for now.
