Soon we will get what we wanted, all the planes owned by United will be flown by United pilots.

Cost per seat mile may not matter as much as cost to operate each flight. I wouldn't expect any flight - either RJ or mainline - to be profitable for some time; I'm not sure why you or anyone would think that RJ flights are anywhere close to breakeven for mainline carriers. I also expect flight frequency of all city pairs to be reduced - that's both mainline and RJ cities.

No airline is going to be spared from this carnage.

The idea that UAL rj’s May/will be flown by uax pilots while we may have some on the street doesn’t sit well with me.

I’d love to see it, but I seriously doubt that Kirby would ever sign that. I do hope that this massive downturn makes them look at 100 seat mainline jets again. Having efficient and modern 100 seat jets with 75% load factors would be better than less efficient 150 seat jets running around with 50% loads.

yeah I have very little clue about this, and it’s clearly more than a bit pointless to try to guess what the company has already gamed out a few thousand ways with as many variables on their supercomputers. Time to ride the carousel...

"Lot of pressure. You've gotta rise above it. You've got to harness in the good energy, block out the bad. Harness... energy... block... bad. Feel the flow, feel it. It's circular. Its like a carousel-- you pay the quarter, you get on the horse. It goes up and down and around. Circular... circle. With the music, the flow. All good things."
