So if it's not a shift in flying then they will not exercise the CRJ 900 options and buy Ejets to be flown by Compass with deliveries late 2014 as one option. Another would be to bring airplanes from RAH to Compass or as 700-900 who's leases expire are exchanged for Ejets flown Compass.
FWIW, Delta still has options on 36 E175s. With the scope clause, they could only get 30 of those 36. If excercised, deliveries would be:

2014: 4
2015: 18
2016 and beyond: 14
