The cancer continues to grow.

United Express is expanding to Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport next month. Two flights a day are transitioning from mainline to E-170s operated by Shuttle America between Chicago and National.

United has not addressed these changes, but a likely explanation for the shift is the war going on right now between Delta, American, and United on the ORD-LGA route. UA has pulled UX from LGA and is offering hourly mainline service, at least for ...
