For those wondering what the first CRJ-450 is, it’s N973SW.

i would also imagine vacancy/displacement bids initially to get the west coast and DEN and IAH 756 bases closed and move the 756/767 flying primarily out of EWR and IAD with maybe ORD?
Overall good news for us!

They just released a 41 seat RJ. The airplane with the highest CASM in the fleet, just got a new lease on life as an even MORE expensive airplane to operate.

I don’t think the 752 is going anywhere anytime soon.

The 752 can live a long happy life flying ewr-den and the like. Bet some get converted back to domestic interiors.

until they’re ready to can the whole fleet, it’s efficient to keep around

The question now remains…. Can the company even operate these under the United Express umbrella…. No where in 1-C-1 permits a 41- seat jet to operate under the UAX umbrella…

that is a fascinating question. Probably in the union’s interest to cut a deal for “50 or fewer seats”

Curious how bad the company wants it

See UPA 1-L-29 which defines a 50 seat aircraft

1-L-29 Definitions

doesn’t matter one bit to me how bad they want it. Scope isn’t for sale, at least not my vote.
