I heard a rumor that JFK was forcing out all planes with 50 seats or le[ss]....

This is an action that LGA/ORD/SFO, etc...SHOULD DO ASAP.
Congestion can be reduced, and a corresponding increase in capacity, IF carriers were FORCED to upgage their equipment size.

KC, Im going to use United out of ORD as an example as I used to fly the CRJ on the Express side...
So do you feel that United should fill an A320 or 757 on flights between ORD-SBN, ORD-FWA, ORD-BMI??? RJ's are needed to searve these smaller cities just a hop skip and jump away from these busy hubs you mention.
However, routes like ORD-SAT dont need to be flown by an RJ. Those should be flown by mainline aircraft. Yes there would be a reduction in congestion and an increase in capacity if routes like this where not flown by RJs
