Totally agree. There are even credible rumors now that one route at my airport is being up-gauged from RJ to a 737.
But "could be consolidated" and "market supports consolidation" are different things. An airline running 6X day two class RJ will take market share from a competitor running 2X day 737. (Same as 2/day 787 beats 1/day A380)
