I hope that United gets all of the 700 flying. That would be amazing. That would be a huge step in the right direction for the entire industry. That would be some of the first GOOD, GREAT, AMAZING news I have heard since 9/11. Why would you not want United flying CRJ-700's for mainline rates. And I like Skywest.
Remember, it is not "your" flying. It is United's flying. This industry is not what it used to be because regionals are flying mainline sized aircraft. If mainline flew mainline sized aircraft, this industry would be in a lot better shape. Please don't be selfish. It is better for everyone in the industry if United flies CRJ-700's.
