The major outsourcing of our flying will take years to accomplish and the number and size of RJ's along with code-sharing are more important, so this isn't the primary focus.

Just my .02, as always.
You seem to think this, I disagree. We are approved for CRJ 700s, and the 900 is easily added. We could get 50 700s fairly fast, and another 50 900s. That still leaves room for another 100 more of those larger RJs. I would expect some sort of announcement of those coming soon. Its why I think we are not furloughing, or else they are bracing for some kind of Exodus.
