This is an interesting innovation from the folks at United:
United's new 50-seater
Because the airline can't get any more 70/76 seaters under its pilot contract, it's making some of its 50-seaters more premium. Delta has more large RJs, so maybe they don't need it, but it would sure be nice to see a 50-seat CRJ-700 (which is what this is) replace some of those crappy CRJ-200s.
If I remember right, United was the first carrier to put F on regional planes and now they're everywhere. I wonder if this might be the same sort of thing.
