UA does more RJ flying than AA/DL dude.. UA has no wholly owned regional so they make less profit through RJ flying and rely on companies like Mesa.. UA is finally taking a hint from DL/AA that mainline pilots should be doing majority of the flying.
Between the ongoing Boeing issues and UA’s historic reliance on RJ flying that status quo is unlikely to change

UA made a mistake by not owning their regional. Regionals are a necessary evil.
UA is forced to contract out all their RJ flying to infamous groups like Mesa/CommuteAir because management is cheap. Hence, why UA regionals are the worst to work at.
On top of that, the UA flow is offered to non-ALPA pilots. Large slap in the face to the RJ ALPA guys that UA -contracts- to do their vast amount of RJ flying
So, to sum it up UA is the master of outsourcing domestic flying (where all airlines make bulk of their cash) and lose the benefit of having an in-house regional..

How profitable is AA since they own Envoy and PSA??
So how's SWA, JB, spirit doing with all that profitable domestic flying. Please stop typing at lunch time. I think I hear the bell ringing for you.

Oh yeah the flood of the 737 deliveries is replacing RJ flying by the day! Maybe you’ll have 30k pilots, Boom jets, and E-Jets by 2030 too, how exciting!
Please, UA will stay the king of being a weak domestic carrier relying on infamous companies to pick up the slack with focused WB flying in awful bases like SFO/EWR (have a blast on global reserve)
Have fun in fantasy land man, I’ll stay grounded with the facts which all boils down to two things: years of top profits & better work rules. Adios

I’ve flown one trip since the start of December and sit long call from home. Global Reserve is cake.
