I have said this before, and I stand by it. The only way we get any kind of huge growth, is to buy an airline (including a BIG regional), or buy small jets to replace a BIG regional with mainline jets. Either way, we are absorbing the flying of United Express at the mainline, which is good for all UAL pilots. UCH doesn't really grow ASM's much, but the mainline does. This will unfortunately result in fewer frequencies, and open up slots at major airports for LCC competitors.

I believe we will do this in a desperate attempt to staff the current UAX flying. It is getting to be a food fight at the regionals.

Or, we won't.
