I think the company has a future as far as the "regional eye" can see. (as in... check back in 5 years, the regional landscape as a whole is prolly gonna be very different)
The MRJs are for sure on paper. That being said, the darn thing hasnt even left the ground yet, literally. Lets see if the Japanese actually get this bird flying and certified first.
Most (if not all) the planes that we were replacing have left the fleet already. We will continue to get planes as long as we can staff them.

Houston ord is better than iah iad. Iah stl is terrible. Hou stl is OK but you have to commit to an airport if you park. Iah den looks pretty good on paper but I haven't done it much. If you commute on ual expect full flights except a few times a year. If your route has more buses than 73s you will greatly improve your chances due to 2 j/s. My experience on ual is that hub to hub doesn't have many mainline pilots at least to the TSA bases. There are plenty of regional guys so you'd better be there an hour early to get the first check in. Iah-ord you can take yx AA 170 usually they are better than ua. Also nk is available iah-ord
