Blue,
These numbers often represent capacity of the Delta "system" which includes DCI and possibly even some JV (not really sure about JVs). So DCI can be getting reduced more and mainline less etc.
As far as the 717s, even if we are getting them, which is still not known, they would trickle in slowly and probably wouldn't be online in any great number until next summer at the earliest anyway.
And relax Gloopy - if we do get the 717s, they will be sans Pilots.
