Your memory isn"t serving you correctly. DCI was already operating the 175s prior to C12. While the company was allowed to add to the number of 76 seaters, they also had to park over 100 50 seaters and something close to 5000 pax seats were moved back to mainline with the 717s. Overall the DCI RJ fleet shrunk. As it is, management hasn't even reached to full allowed number of 76 seaters and has no plans to actually reach it. They would rather grab every 717 in the world they can.
