Reduced, but not dumped. I think Kirby is just priming another scope attack.
It was said in yesterday’s employee town hall. May be able to view it if you have access to UAL Skynet.

quite possibly

With international probably being the worst hit, he could be looking at up gauging routes to keep some of those wide bodies flying. The market would be flooded with seats. EAS would still get a 50 seater.

from tpg: “One positive note: United is likely to keep few of the all-economy regional jets with 50 seats — the Bombardier CRJ200 and Embraer ERJ-145 — after the crisis, said Kirby. These aircraft, while common on routes to small cities, are unpopular with travelers.”

This is an almost meaningless statement.
1. If you have to downguage routes due to reduced demand you park 777s, not 200s/145s
2. Since when does UA gaf whether an airplane is popular with travelers.

Unless there is some substance that I can’t see on FB along the lines of we’re bringing 175E2s on for mainline pilots to fly, or alpa has voted to cave on scope - there’s going to be at least the same or higher proportion of routes flown in 200s a year from now.

landscape will be totally changed in 3 years when things pick up. Airlines will be changed.

We can still have a "V" shaped recovery. We are not yet a month into reduced loads.
This April-May could be the bottom of the V.

9E has the planes and staff to do it.

​​​​​OO covered those routes in April because of a last minute schedule swap.

wont happen. Not a hope. L shaped recovery is best we can hope for with loads starting to hit 30/40% of their peak by Dec 2020

“In almost every scenario after this, 50 seaters will be significantly reduced”

he has said it three times now. Deny all you want, but that’s the path they’ve chosen.

SkyWest serves 29 “EAS/Prorate” markets for United... those will stay and stay 50 seaters... And carry the UA code.. It’s all a “ marketing scheme”...
but then again. If you know anything about prorate you will know the operating airline pays for all the marketing..i do see all “fee for departure” 50 seat aircraft departing UA’s flying.. but there will be some city's added to prorate... But most routes upgaged and less frequency...
