If Santa Fe can handle an EMJ, then United could also add a Santa Fe-ORD route.

I don't see SAF-ORD happening, as American Eagle would have already started it if there was a need for it (ORD is American's second largest hub). In addition, a CRJ-200/ERJ-145 could struggle on the route in the summer due to hot-and-high conditions, perhaps requiring either a CRJ-700 or Embraer 170, which are too large for SAF to handle.
At least SLC provides a decent connection to the Pacific Northwest and Hawaii.
