STL-IAD started, DEN gets 2 flights added

I knew this one was coming on. St Louis will get 3x daily CRJ''s to Washington''s Dulles. This route should do good, hopefully it will be upgraded in the future to somethinh like 1 A319 & 1 CRJ.
We also are getting two more flights to Denver on I believe United mainline, not sure what kind of A/C.

It looks like they are adding two RJ's on the DEN-STL route in addition to the four mainline flights. According to united.com, these new flights will be operated by Mesa with CRJ-70's offering First Class and Economy. I think this will be one of UA's first routes with the CRJ-70. It also looks like Kansas City will be getting three nonstops to Dulles using Air Wisconsin CRJ's.

I'm sure American's pull-down in St. Louis has something to do with this, but I wonder if UA might also be sending a message to Atlantic Coast that UA can feed Dulles without them.
