SKW just announced they will retire many of their 700s and replace them with 70 seat -900s (skw 700s are newer than the G7 planes). As for the 30 year old planes the md-80s are going away and the 757s do what 3-4 cycles a day vs the 6-8 the rj does.

OO has been taking the EV -700s from Delta ops and putting them in the AA system. AA likes the -700s because with 65 seats it less, they are classified as “small RJ’s” and are not limited in scope. The only way the United G7 -700s keep flying is if they fly for AA. United has plans to replace them and Delta doesn’t want them either.
