Previously mentioned was an LAX nonstop - unfortunately it doesn't seem possible for an airline to offer the service profitably, especially UA with only 32% of the market. If the numbers translate over...that would be 21 people per flight. That would still be pushing profitability on an RJ, especially into today's market where people want 50 buck fares every where and the airlines need to charge $200 to make money.
