DL/AA can have all the RJs they want , I like seeing Mainline jets flying routes that mainline pilots should be flying.
UA does more RJ flying than AA/DL dude.. UA has no wholly owned regional so they make less profit through RJ flying and rely on companies like Mesa.. UA is finally taking a hint from DL/AA that mainline pilots should be doing majority of the flying.
Between the ongoing Boeing issues and UA’s historic reliance on RJ flying that status quo is unlikely to change
