Actually it would be more like CRJ flying. DAL wants to retire CR2s. DAL works deal with JA to remove 2 for 1 (CR2 for CR9). Those CR2 are leased, to Skywest Airlines and XJT from the leasing company. West bases for SKYW and east for former ASA. ASA has the overwater for the CR2 and Skywest would use the same program for approval. I doubt the XJT ERJ is approved.
You think you have an ace in your pocket but you forget JA has a full house. We've been there done that. You guys do what you need...good luck.
