No, Delta has A220s because they're better management than UAL. Delta was able to make a new SNB work where United's management is unable to make it work. United's management is worse than DAL management.
United's management is also worse than Southwest's management because they don't even fly RJs.
If United's management can't figure out how to do it without pilot scope concessions, then United's management needs to be replaced.
Let's stop making excuses for United management's incompetence on being able to profitably fly with a cap on RJs.
