LAX DFW non stops downgraded to RJ's
Flying back from DFW on Sunday, I asked the gate agent if there were plans to bring back the 2nd daily non-stop flight to LAX. With a very sad face, she said that DFW was being downsized... yes, the 2nd non-stop is coming back in September, but both daily flights will be downgraded to a CR7.
She said the DFW personnel were very disappointed... I agree.

At least you get CR-7s. OAK-LAX is all CRJs.

SFO-SAT goes mainline (A319) if that's any consolation.

Bummer. I suppose it is only a matter of time for DFW-SFO.

I'd settle for the CRJ if it meant that United would fly LAX-DAL rather than into DFW. (I haven't carefully followed the Love Field changes recently, but I think the 50-seat limit to California still applies?) But I am probably in the minority on that.

Argh, DFW is my hub! 
Does anyone have more information on UA's "downsizing" of DFW?

I'm assuming it is a CR7 so that they can still have F seating for those who are connecting with Asia/Australia flights. I prefer the 170 over the CR7, but either beats the stinking CR2s.
