If this wonderful shrinkage comes to light that you speak of you might just find yourself stuck in the right side of an RJ for a very long time.
The word at United is the 40 700's up for United are not getting renewed. With those 40 aircraft your seniority went way south. Just a thought....
Is offline is correct. Lots of 700s going away. UA added 25 320s to the mainline fleet which start arriving next year. Ther is a reduction planned of up to 40% regional feed over the next 3 years as mainline absorbs flying back into the fold. Don't hold your breath for much in the way of additional flying. From here on its a downward path.
