Yeah, it would make to join with the new regional carrier and it might will get orders of the EMB-170 anytime soon. My guess that would think about UA will make decide to get EMB-170.

Shuttle America could possibly be reallocating some of the planes from USex routes recently discontinued (or announced to be discontinued at a later date). These include TTN-PIT, TTN-BED, and I think a few others that I don't recall.

I could see were UA Express could do good with a 170, into markets such as GRR, and cities like that. It would be great to see the new UA Express c/s on a 170. I think it'd look pretty good.

ORD-EUG???? That would be a good one... seing as they only continue to add CRJ flights from here... and a mainline flight was rumored extensively in the past.

I would not bank on any of those city parings. Republic / Chautauqua really dosen't even fly west of the Mississippi River. You'll see them on the eastcoast.
