I agree. A lot of people want to argue about this and that but United has a plan but its a moving target based on how certain things shake out in the next few months. I would say its just shy of guaranteed that ExpressJet will be all E175s by 2023ish.

One thing you can be sure of is in the next two years the “UnitedExpress” brand will look vastly different than today.

A quick look at a map will inform you that DEN is not anywhere near the "west coast".

But the west coast cities are under 800 miles from Den.
You can also then hop across to SFO and LAX.
So now you have west coast flying.
