I don't think they were talking about the CRJ 900 looking at the facts they said they were going to use a 66 seat plane which is what the CRJ 700 is, and I think they were talking about that one.
The CRJ 900 is currently not operated by any UA Express carrier. It's outside of the current scope clause so they cannot operate it on behalf of UA.
You might be right Inless they use the CRJ 900.
I don't think the CRJ-700 can make it from ORD nonstop to ANC, especially with prevailing headwinds. We are talking a considerable distance here. For example, back in the day, Northwest flew ORD-ANC with a B747. These days, the B737-800 can fly ORD-ANC nonstop and I'll bet that's what UA will use - especially as Alaska Airlines has now decided to quit flying nonstop ORD-ANC with their B737-800 aircraft.
A CRJ 700 has 66 seats so they might use them for the long hauls like O Hare to Anchorage and to Mexico.
United flies RJs from AUS to SFO and AUS to LAX. The flight to SFO they check your baggage weight closely, they must max out the full load. I don't take either flight.
