United Rumored To Be Looking At Buying Piedmont

Is there anybody else that thinks that the divorce between ACA and UA is a good thing for US??

The ACA service at IAD has the only United service to the following cities:
CHO, SCE, and BGM.

The following cities have service to ORD but three or fewer daily RJ flights:
ROA and GSP.

Several cities have four RJ ORD flights including ABE, MDT, CAE, CHS, and TYS.

If UA really loses ACA, there is going to probably be a service gap where north/south passengers will not be able to United flights to these destinations without significant inconvenience (i.e., SYR-IAD-CAE).
 
FYI, Of the 35 flights UAL "agreed" to pare from the ORD schedule, ALL 35 will be RJ's, that should free some up for IAD....
