United's death to the 50 seaters
According to a recent article in money magazine United is going to replace half the 50 seaters flown by their regional partners...
Good news for United frequent fliers. The airline is buying 40 new Boeing 737-700 airplanes to replace some of the smaller, older planes operated by its regional carriers.

This pretty much guarantees that LXJT is done in 2019. Between TSA and Commutair flying about 100 E145s that wouldn't leave any room for LXJT. I read that United will park about 100 E145s over the next 3 years and it seems all will be from XJT. Good news is they might get a small extension until 2019 but it seems that will be the end.

What does this mean for companies that don't have anything larger than a CRJ-200 or ERJ-145? Will they go belly up in the next few years? If companies don't want these aircraft won't they continue the trend of moving those routes to larger aircraft?

Not necessarily directed at HeyOneTaco.
Is there any room left in legacy scope clauses for more 70+ seaters to replace 50 seaters? I know there's been quite a lot awarded in the last couple years, and I'm not sure how the various scope clauses read.
