i took BDL-IAH a couple times assuming that it'd be an easy upgrade (and BDL is slightly more convenient compared to BOS for me), but i was shocked both times at how many GS (never mind 1Ks) were on the flight. at face, it seems to be a very healthy new route for UA.

BOS-CLE-DEN
UA 4158 ("direct" flight)
E145

You get the pleasure of all RJ, with no possibility of even RJ F.
Fun, fun, fun

SFO-DFW, 1,465 miles, 3hr39min slotted time. At least it is an EMB175 and my upgrade cleared. Still not sure how UA considered a flight that is over half way across the country and over 3 hours to be a "regional" flight.

Though operated by an EJet, it is tough to consider them as the same calibre as a CRJ/ERJ or a CR7. The E170/175/190 would be, and could be easily operated by UA mainline and there would likely be few qualms from anyone.

Which is why I stated at least it is an EMB175. But it is still a "regional" airline operating the flight, not "mainline" UA. This makes the line between "mainline" UA and "regional" UAX a very blurred line indeed.

Does Shuttle America have a shortage of E170 drivers?
Anecdotally, quite a few cancellations in last month "due to crew shortages". Don't have any stats specific to crew shortage cancellations (not sure if they're even published) but 3 flights I've been trying to take in last four weeks have cancelled - out of DEN.

I could be mistaken, but I believe AAs scope clause states that all hub-hub must be mainline. Back when I flew AA, I thought that clause was universal across carriers, so I was surprised when I found UX on hub-hub.

That's certainly not the case with pmAA and pmUS flying though - plenty of RJ on PHL ORD, for example (though, to be fair, nice RJs).
