If you look at the February scheduling report for Denver CRJ we have trips that go through SEA, PDX, ACV, LAX, SFO, SBP, BUR, SNA, and SMF. I will admit though that the CRJ trips are not getting any better for the most part, passengers like the ERJ more so the more popular destinations will continue to go mostly to the ERJ.

Denver DMA went away on the CRJ after February of 2025 and is entirely gone on the CRJ on the United side (although there are rumors they may use it again some in the summer when the winds start to pick up). The only 2 CRJ DMA bases left are ORD and DFW and those are on the American side. Delta switched over to the ERJ for the winter, but if they decided to go back to the CRJ, LAX may come back.

United will be using the 200’s for a long time. They make a ton of money and there are rumors of a 30 seat 2 class configuration coming to them. It looks like they will also be converting all of the United 700’s to 550’s. They are already taking over a lot of routes in Denver as well. The CRJ will not be going away anytime soon.
