Whose “regional swamp”? UAX flying is up overall - so, UAX capacity is growing overall. Is Xjet having that many cancellations for lack of crew?
At some point, there will be enough net departures from Xjet that upgrades will come more in line with the industry. Maybe, Xjet will become the 175 regional for United when that occurs.
