I don’t want more 76 seaters. I don’t want 50 seaters flying routes like EWR-ATL as they were in 2010.

I do want premium configured 50 seaters to fly from United hubs to these small airports (which cannot support mainline flights) that are served by our competitors. Without that, these passengers will fly our competitors instead.
