For right now United needs Mesa to improve their reliability and keep the 70/76 seat rj’s moving. As long as United needs Mesa, they will pump money into them and they’ll be around. Dropping carriers that only operate 50 seat jets that are being phased out isn’t the problem that allowing a major disruption to the dual class bigger rj’s would be. A more realistic merger would be between CommutAir and Mesa. They could consolidate crews to fullly staff the 175’s while retiring the 145’s.

One thing is for sure. “United next” has the regional feed shrinking. Phasing out the single class 50 seaters and being replaced with 175s. Even then shirking the 175 flying and replacing it with maineline flying. It’s already being done now as we speak. 737 flying routes that use to be operated by regional jets.

Right, and I'm not employed by Mesa
All I can tell you Billy and qrh is that we're (Republic) flying into places we didn't before in the southwest and northeast and I'm told they were previously flown by competitors or that were flying current airports more often.
I texted a friend at Skywest who said the same thing about picking up a few new routes.

I'd love to know these places we are flying into that are new on the United side because I'm not seeing it in the bid packet.

That statement was pretty much a lie. As is the 50/50 and that attrition is under control. So don’t waste your time.
What we have seen is upgauging. So while this ignorant poster thinks we are flying routes the 145 can’t fly, in reality large RJs are flying the routes for scale and mainline us flying what large RJS were flying.

I spoke to actual line pilots in person that told me there thoughts. They specifically said were returning to kiad. That is the only airport I remember being mentioned. I'll stick with what they said.

EDIT: Also, line pilots (speaking as one) are the worst for rumors. Absolute worst.
EDIT2: Except maybe regional FAs.
