How many flights does C5 currently do out of EWR? Have they already started to lose flights to another carrier?

With the United announcement coming Tuesday, focusing on fleet upgrades and customer service. What are the odds something coming out of this announcement will affect old 50 seaters? Is this United’s chance to completely re-imagine even the regional fleet too? Like Delta has done with theirs. Hopefully it’s nothing too immediate but they’ve done worse.

I can see it happening. They have a lot of time committed to C5. Especially with the westward push!

I can see it happening IF c5 can staff the current flying. Giving flying to its worst performing regional seems like a bad idea

I was thinking about this as well. Might be a tough sell unfortunately, starting a new jet program if C5 is already having some issues at the moment. Worried they might find it easier to close up shop.
