What do they plan to do with the 65, 737-700s?
They don't seem to be replacing anything. Speculation at the regionals is that United will start taking over more or the flying that the regionals currently do. The other guys seem to be doing the same thing. Jet Blue has the 190s, Delta ordered the CS300 . This could be where some of the growth is going to come from.
