You bet management is watching... watching all their shinny new 175s that we'll never see. Wonder where all those Mitsubishi's are now? (hint, going to republic).
I don't think the Mystery Jet will ever see use in the US. At least not in the near future.
Much of the problems with UAL are their own doing. They have always treated the regionals like second-class citizens, more so than other majors. I think they tried to be cute just a little too long and will soon see 145's being parked for a lack of pilots. Why would anyone want to work for a UAL feeder?
