It is also very likely that UAL is going to move RJ flying to Mana Air from other regionals that it can't or won't buy, particularly those that do not accept United flow downs. From your comments it appeared you were saying scope has nothing to do with RJ counts, which it does. Lots going on right now and it is going to be an interesting next few months.
Looks like Mana Air will be the new golden child, but we will see.
