of people think. People care about price and schedule first

That is all a non issue. I would assume they will keep whatever 50 seat flying they end up keeping with XJT but there is no need to consolidate anything.

Both companies seem to do a good job. I’d agree that there is no need to consolidate. There will be casualties on the regional side as the 50 seat fleet is reduced, just as there will be on the legacy side as the 756 suffers the same fate.

If we are talking about possible future scenaros post Covid19, I would see only XJT and C5 as the 50 seat operators for United.
Chicago and Denver would go to XJT and EWR/IAD to C5. XJT had it's focus shifted West with the demise of TSA and I can't see that changing. I also can't see anything bigger than a 50 seater for most of the flying outa EWR and IAD.
The fact that United have ownership stakes in both these operators also plays a major part in this theory.
