I know they said UAL is looking very closely at the new Bombardier C-Series, and that an "improved" E-190 may also be an option. They said AAG is likely looking at the same and I would imagine DAL too. I did ask if they knew anything about the MRJ and they said they "didn't know" but thought it would be doubtful mainline would buy anything with the name Mitsubishi attached to it.
