It's been mentioned adnauseum, however our mainline partner United, whom the ERJ side exclusively services, has decided along with industry wide consensus, to get rid of the lion's share of 50 seaters and upgauge to larger 76 seat regional jets. It so happens that the great majority of United 50 seat flying is done by the ERJ side of Expressjet. The larger RJ's slated to replace the majority of that 50 seat flying, have already been placed with other carriers for the most part. That's a hard and fast summary of the situation thus far. I'm sure other's will elaborate on or correct my synopsis where applicable.
