This means our ERJ guys are taking someone else's flying and if we get something from UA on the CRJ side, it'll be at the expense of someone else too.

Yeah, don't hold your breath on that. We can barely staff the aircraft we have, no way are Inc and UAL going to give us more. I'm thinking the ERJs at XJT will remain here for a short while. I do believe this recent announcement of 40 CRJ-200s for Air Whisky and Scumwest is United preparing for the coming implosion of the XJT operation. Seems as if someone in Chicago rubbed their only two brain cells together and realized an airline held together with bailing wire and twine probably won't sustain their 50 seat feed for much longer.
