TIFWIW - Greg Hart said the same thing recently in a Q&A session with the new hire class ... looking at A319s to replace some regional flying. Again, TIFWIW

No doubt that the company is feeling the effects of scope choke and regional reliability/cost issues. Adding mainline narrow body capacity could ameliorate some of the negative effects of UCH's regional contracts. The operative word being: contracts.
Who knows what the terms and duration of the various CPA's are? Will adding mainline capacity decrease regional CPA costs, or just add reliability (if in fact that is the issue)?
Finally, it's important to realize there is one way around scope choke, and it's not adding mainline current fleet aircraft. It may worth passing onto your LEC rep that you're not interested in a waivering 1-c-1-g unless we'd like to start the 20 year RJ cycle all over again.

Watch for the announcement:
100 seat aircraft (Bombardier)
75 firm orders and 50 options for UAL mainline
15000 pilot list by 2018
That will free up per scope additional 175s for Express ----as it is current language per contract 2012

Based on this article from 10 months ago, Mythbusters deems your rumor "Plausible."
United Said to Mull Embraer, CSeries Jets in Fleet Revamp - Bloomberg Business
What I found intriguing was the remark that the CS would not enter service until the latter-half of 2015.
Also: Mythbusters was FAR better when she was still on the show:
