There will be casualties on the regional side as the 50 seat fleet is reduced, just as there will be on the legacy side as the 756 suffers the same fate.
Scope will be renegotiated with a UA bankruptcy or under current market conditions. ExpressJet is here to stay in either scenario. XJT will not be limited to 50 seat flying in the future.
