The one article discussing your poor performance cited 145’s and CRJs so I assumed you still had them.

Got a source for that info? How about a source that shows how many jumpseats each carrier puts in the air in a daily basis.

National transportation library data looks like:

UA puts about 3112 jumpseats into the air every day. Assuming UA mostly 2 js/plane

OO - 2230

YX - 867

No. We (UAL Pilots) don't ride in the jumpseat when on positive-space travel; we ride in the cabin. If the company can not give us a contractually compliant seat (usually E+ on domestic DHs, sometimes FC), we sit in the gate area watching the airplane push back then call scheduling to repair our schedule.

To avoid confusion, they are replacing 70-seat CRJ-700s with 70-seat E-175SCs. The E-175SC is a 70-seat version of the normally 76-seat E-175.

The replaced CRJ-700s are reconfigured and recertified as 50-seat CRJ-550s and, at least initially, are being deployed to replace all-economy 50-seaters where there is potential for premium cabin/seat sales.

The net result is no change in the number of 70 and 76-seat airplanes and an increase in 50-seat airplanes as SCOPE prevents an increase in anything other than 50-seat airplanes at UAX.

It's an interesting idea, but it's yet to be seen whether the 10 FC, 20 E+, and ability to hold everyone's rollaboard in the cabin will generate enough of a revenue premium to offset the increased cost of the larger airplane. What I do know is that I'd rather ride on a CRJ-550 than a CRJ-200 or E145.

Yes, correct. This is what I’ve been saying the entire time. It all goes back to my “United loves regionals” comment. United is adding to the regionals (50 seaters) while the other two carriers are reducing them.

So, commuting up to ORD, seat in back of a Skywest CRJ. Check in with the captain during boarding to say hi & ask permission to ride. F/O launches into “what do you think about this cat fight we’re in?”

Thank God I went through SERE...
