It just occurred to me that with the Regional sector in complete disarray it may be cheaper for DAL to quickly add and remove capacity with the DC-9 fleet than it would to link up with Skywest or Shuttle America for a 5 year deal. If all you need is a couple extra sections from ATL-ORD the DC-9 is really a solid choice.
