What everyone is looking for is the insight into what will be the replacement plan for the older and smaller 737-700/800 and 319/320s. With a two year lead time on orders, they need to start getting serious with a plan.
Well, clearly the CSeries 100/300 could fit the bill....
As far as I know, Republic's original order for 40 CS300s is still outstanding:

No doubt UAL will be watching Delta's introduction of the CS100 and Air Canada's introduction of the CS300 closely. There are rumors that JB is considering dumping the E190 but that is all speculation at this point. I guess UAL could pick up JB's discarded E190s too..............
