What the C-Series order means?
So with Delta acquiring 75 CS100's instead of the rumored CS300's and publicly stating these are a replacement for regional jets, what does this mean for us lowly regional folk? Who benefits? The WO or the other contract carriers? It seems that more major flying being brought back in house would be a good thing....

These will be flown at the mainline, which is good for anyone who wants more high paying airline jobs. That benefits all airline pilots.
However I would expect many of these will be used as replacements not growth for current short routes from ATL and new medium/long & thin routes from SEA & LAX.

The 50 seaters will be replaced with 76 seaters, and the 76 seaters will be replaced by mainline jets. This means DCI will likely be around 350 aircraft, or less by 2025. It's likely that DCI is reduced to only XJT, and Skywest due to their required presence in some markets. They have the government subsidized flying, and the ATL gates.

I think its entirely way to early to speculate on which or which regional carriers are going to gain/lose/retain flying. The CS100 is 2 years out from arriving at Delta. There are many more obstacles between now and then for a good chunk of the DCI carriers.
