It's doubtful mainline could fly these aircraft at a profit at all, especially with the competition worldwide flying the same aircraft at the regional level. Ask your union reps on how well that pitch went to management. They simply will not entertain the idea. It's an unviable economic model from day one.

When UAL is the only Legacy carrier in the US, with little or no competition, then that unicorn of an idea might be possible
