United is currently replacing CRJ7's outright with 175SC's. They have announced 25/45 will be replaced, but all 45 have contracts ending next year, so they may be replacing ALL of them and just haven't said so yet.
Gojets have their DL CRJ9 contract ending next year I believe, which those planes are some of the oldest around I believe.
Mesa's CRJ9 contract is also due for rebid next year as well. Mesa also has a large portion of their Ejet fleet coming up for rebid next year.
And Alaska has no scope so we could be adding a new partner.
There is a possibility for a lot of aircraft movement over the next year or two, which could stem aircraft retirements and new frames to replace older ones.

The word is once we have the capacity we will get the lines. Not sure if they will come from new American or Delta lines who do have some room on their scope, or we will get them from other Regionals who have poorer performance issues.

At Indoc today, Matt Koscal said they anticipate the vast majority of the 100 airframes to be growth, not replacement. He said they would begin delivery in the second half of 2020, for what it's worth.
He said they're planning to reduce the seat count on the 70-seat 170s to 65 and fly them for AA as small RJs, affording YX an opportunity to grow without needing any scope relief.

None. But since we own almost all our airplanes we can shift them around as needed to make changes. Convert the HQ birds to 70 seats and paint them in United colors.... boom. Status quo but with more room for growth.

I don’t doubt that Republic could gain some AA flying but I think any growth will likely be at Envoy and PSA for the WO feed. Piedmont in my opinion is the wild card.
