As hiring slows down (Delta, Spirit, JB, FedEx, UPS, etc…), you’ll start to see less turnover at the regional captain level, which means fewer parked RJ’s, which means more ASM’s on RJ’s. United will definitely need to hire regardless as long as those deliveries keep coming, but I do think getting those parked RJ’s back in the air will cause a little slowdown in hiring.

I would hope that current management has finally figured out that the CASM declines when you replace RJs with mainline aircraft. And the passengers prefer mainline aircraft over Barbie jets. They can't be turned into beer cans fast enough for me.

RASM drops if there's not enough demand for the larger jet.
