Breath new life into a legal airframe that connects premium passengers into a growing international market AND decreases capacity? Sounds like a win to me. I'm not sure how this is any way an end around as based on the news, it doesn't seem to violate scope.
UAL, instead of spending billions on new fleets for mainline, can feed the network with high yield passengers. I'd like to hear how this option is more expensive than the fly and buy mainline RJs.
If you ask me, if we're going to buy airplanes, make the high paying ones - which by the way we are.

This guys does a pretty good job explaining premium yield.
