You're off by a few Q400s, but RAH is also parking their 5 E-190s currently used for charters, so the total is pretty much correct.

They own most of their airplanes, including all of the 50 going to the new UAL
Shuttle Republic flying. But UAL holds a bunch of options on E-175s, so if UAL wanted to give E175 flying to another carrier, they would just exercise those options. That was how SkyWest and Mesa got their 175s. Not sure what DAL would do.
