It's gonna be tough to compete in similar markets where DL and AA are flying 70/76 seaters or mainline.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. This is what makes me avoid flying United more than anything else.
And 20% on AS
100% of paid longhaul on UA, 100% of reward on TG.

Is there some reason why UA can't add E145s if they need to add smaller birds to cover particular routes? Using CR2s is bound to do only one thing...piss off loyal flyers.

Gee. CR2 Vs E145. Which one do I hate more? Such a difficult decision. 😁

Unless I'm guaranteed an empty middle, I would take any seat from 1A to 18A on an E45 over any mainline Y seat.

My educated guess is that CRJs were available without a time commitment (as stated several time on the big conference call IIRC), end 145s weren't.

By the way, 772 mod is unfortunately very slow - almost two months already.

The author’s tweets linking back to recycled and dated articles are a bit misleading. That’s why it always pays to look for a date line... there’s no “news” here.
No more CRJs than have already been contemplated/added, nor are they staying any longer than initially planned.

39M had an IAH test hop on the 4th. WiFi testing and employee event from what I heard.
The new livery does look nice when pulled up to a jetbridge.
