The T-way birds will be going to Asia to bring Business Elite product to the Intra Asia markets starting early May.
If we are serious about competing in those markets, that is a step in the right direction.

Until the plane is no longer flying 40% of your domestic routes, I'd considder it "not dead".
Really? Go tell a Comair pilot the 50 seater going away is just talk. Over 100 50 seaters have already been removed from the DCI system, & more are on the way out. And while Skywest may have gained some flying on the UsAir side, ASA is losing flying on the DCI side.
Add to that Frontier is parking 50 seaters. Pinnacle's future isn't bright, as Saabs are being parked and their 100+ CRJ200 contract expires in 2017.

I've never missed the flight, but it is always a real possibility.

ASA's lost flying on DCI is going to GoJet, again with the shuffle.
Pinnacle's future - is future. Not present. All speculation.
Frontier is an amalgamation and poorly run airline. Nothing short of a sell off can save that place from BB. The very few parked chataqua 145s are being used outside of airline service for charters where they can.
Speaking of the present - 5 minutes on wikipedia/apc reveals appx ~890 50 seat RJs currently flying in service of legacy airline branded operations in the US alone.
Far from dead.

comair has 20 more 50 seaters exiting by june. I hear they are being scooped up by skywest with cheaper leases.

This has to change, there are a lot of sloppy flippant nonrevs.

It only takes about 2 minutes to check in on the Kiosk for those that know what they are doing and those that don't should plan on arriving with ample time anyway. These little quirks bug me as much as you FTB.
