If Delta passes this current TA, whats to say that United doesn't reach a JCBA with similar scope?
Because if they do, it is written into the ExpressJet CPA that they have first rights to any additional larger aircraft at a 2:1 replacement until all of their 50 seat fleet is gone. So absolute worse case scenario is XJT becomes 50% smaller but thats if UAL parks every single 50 seater which I don't believe will ever happen.
