I just did a 3 day, SFO - RNO - SFO - EUG - DEN -SAF - EUG - SFO. I was slightly astonished to see that at EUG and SAF, the only airplanes at the airport were OO (wearing UA, DL, and AA colors). At SFO, and I kid you not, of 5 airplanes in the departure lineup, 4 were OO. Finally at DEN, we were at the head of a 6-plane lineup for the 25 departure. Four were OO 175s. One was a UA A319. And then there we were in an OO CRJ-700.
It was kinda spooky, I gotta say.

My God, get this man out of here and into a cockpit! His company is understaffed as we speak!

There’s a reason XJT sent its ENTIRE pilot group warn letters, and it ain’t good.

70-seaters are the ones which were already scope-restricted, and will be even more so once the entire scope look-back period encompasses the pandemic. There was still room under the scope clause to add quite a bit of 50-seat flying. On the other hand, SK signaled repeatedly that he doesn’t see a bright future for 50-seaters in the UA system. I guess that’s why even United doesn’t seem to know what the heck will happen to UAX carriers.

Long term the 50 seat RJs are going to disappear just like the turborprops. United can fly as many turboprops as they want under scope and they currently don't fly any...

For the eleventy zillionth time...I wasn't trying to be an OO fanboy. I was honestly stunned at what I saw. It was spooky, is what it was. Not so much that the only airplanes we saw were OO, but that in 3 days I saw far more regional aircraft than mainline. There, is that better? I was simply trying to express how strange it felt, especially since I hadn't flown in 2 months and I came back to a spookily empty sky that was apparently populated by regional aircraft -- even at two major hubs.
Sheesh. Relax already.
