If they're being operated on contract where RAH shares the profits/losses, then they may not count against it. I'll have to read more.
The other thing to remember is it will take several years to see the changes take effect. Delta hasn't ordered any additional large RJs yet. Delivery will likely take 16-18 months after they're ordered. 44 B717's must be operating in revenue service before a single large RJ can show up. We won't have 44 B717's into service until 2015. 88 B717's must be online before all 70 additional large RJs can be added.
