An RJ couldn't make that flight

It is highly unlikely LAX-BTR will ever be served non-stop. LAX-MSY will be back soon enough, either on UA, WN or both, but BTR wont happen.

Something like a ERJ-145XR couldnt make it?? the circle mapper shows LAX-BTR as 1600 nm, and the XR has a 2000nm range so why can' it make it
headwinds or something??

Yes, perhaps the ERJ-145XR would be the only RJ capable of the routing, but it would have the most disgusting CASM on the face of the earth. Additionally, the airlines that fly it neither hub nor focus at LAX or BTR

A CRJ-705 can make it easily. AC uses those on YYC-IAH and, during the off season, YYZ-PHX.

Interesting. Still, what carrier would have the CRJ-705 and fly the route?
I agree with you there, nobody would fly it and nobody will fly it anytime soon. Though I also believe a CRJ-900 can make the route, and US Airways Express will have those soon enough.

Surprisingly, it can. Then again, the CASM is still not great for that route, and HP/US would likely not start with BTR if they wanted to refocus at LAX

Actually, pre-Katrina, UA had a strong schedule to all of its hubs. At least 2 flights per day to all 5, with 3 to LAX, at least 3 to ORD and 3 to IAD. Even now, UA is back with 1 735 to ORD (switching to 2 E170s), 1 Ted A320 to DEN (switching to 2 735s), and 1 A319 to IAD. SFO wont be back for a while, but UA's success on LAX-MSY previously leads one to believe they wont stay away for long. This is not bad considering UA is not considered strong in the South.
Quoting MAH4546 (Reply 9): United Express doesn't fly to Baton Rouge from any airport.
Whatever happened to the ORD-BTR flight that was strongly rumored to be coming from UA?

United, along with a handful of others, did look for gatespace at BTR, but nothing every happened. Following Katrina, AA almost immediately began twice daily ORD-BTR service with ERJ-145s, and it will be upgraded to two daily CRJ-700s in November, so they have the market tied up pretty well. AA used to fly ORD-BTR until April 2002. It was one of the routes that was discontinued to satisfy the pilot unions.

LAX-BTR would be only slightly longer (200 miles or so) than American Eagle's LAX-XNA flight with the CRJ700. LAX-BTR may not have as high a demand (i.e. no Asia-Arkansas Wal-Mart Express), but it certainly seems feasible.

COex flies ERJs from IAH-LAX/SNA/ONT from time to time. BTR is barely further.
Of all the things to worry about... the Wookie has no pants.

New Orleans was, and will be, the only real major market in the state. Baton Rouge will keep a nice chunk of its new population (though no more than half), and will likely keep a bit of the new service, but the market that needed air transport was New Orleans. Otherwise, people could drive to New Orleans or there were other airports to absorb the cachement
Quoting Ikramerica (Reply 16): COex flies ERJs from IAH-LAX/SNA/ONT from time to time
CO does not fly IAH-LAX with the ERJ. IAH-SNA does not go on ERJs, rather all 737s and 757s. Actually, SNA-IAH may face some restriction on the ERJ, even on the 145XR, based on the field performance specs from Embraer. IAH-ONT has seen the ERJ, though it is all 737s currently.
