A whole lot larger. Try at least 100 737's and 85 727's larger. Probably more as these numbers don't reflect the 737-200's that were shelved to make way for RJ's.
Depending on how you staff it; that is anywhere from 1900 to 3000 pilot jobs that went the way of the RJ.
It's time to take that flying back. If someone wants to sit in the cockpit of a jet that says United (anywhere) on the side - then they need to be on the United seniority list.
