There are plenty of carriers that make money without regional feed.

Sure you are right...and those carriers are leaving money on the table without it as well. Plus those airlines making money without regional feed run off a different business model as well.

Nobody’s making a new 50
Seat jet.

How exactly are these replacement aircraft to fit the 50 seat niche?

Being that there isn’t a realistic replacement aircraft for the 50 seat niche, the niche will eventually adapt or go away. Some markets may not be served. People in CLL can drive to IAH. Other markets could see fewer flights on larger aircraft. The regionals can fly the 70/76 seat jets allowed by scope to the smaller markets and mainline covers the rest using what ever the company decides that we fly. It took us years to get here, and changing won’t happen overnight. It will be interesting to watch it unfold though. The current 50 seat jets will eventually have to be replaced. The question is with what?

Who knows? I don’t know how the math would work out buying a new jet with only 50 seats paying the bills. There may always be some 50 seat jets, but I’d bet that the number of 50 seat jets in 5-10 years will be significantly reduced. We really don’t see that many turboprops these days, and my guess is that the market and consumer preference will do the same to the 50 seat jets. They are miserable to ride in for anything longer than 30 minutes and if United doesn’t want to give consumers what they want, Delta will. They already are.
