You also don’t understand that pre 9/11 and bankruptcy those routes you speak of were flown by mainline.
The rich history you speak of is post-bankruptcy and when the UA pilots gave away scope. It was also a time when no UA CEO ever wanted to truly run an airline. Shrink to profitability was a saying heard for years.
It wasn’t till Oscar (and now Kirby) came along that they have been interested in running an airline and controlling the product.
As usual you come off like the “know it all” you happen to think you are. UA is replacing RJ’s with mainline and even your “scared” SKW won’t be immune
