The number you control is 255. 255 RJs with more than 50 seats in the current agreement no matter the mainline fleet size, and an increase to 325 in the TA.
The 70 seaters are not under long term contract. Many of the 70 seat leases are up in 2015. There really isn't anything to stop a 1:1 trade with 70 seaters to 76 seatsrs.
