Yeah
Id say most of our base size and trip quality on the CRJ side has been due to the United 700 change up. All united hub/outstation domiciles have been affected negatively. Iah is the most obvious. While Ord crews are being almost unaffected due to American 700 flying blowing up there.
Den used to be busier. Cos has even less diversity in flying schedules than it did before.

There have been other minor changes but the 700 change put all of this in motion.
I'm curious at which number of 7/9airframes they have planned to stop triple qualifying everyone. We may be far far from that number but still curious what their playbook says.
