Now we just signed up for 65- 50 seat RJs
Regional outsourcing's been shrinking for at least the last couple of years. I haven't checked the 2014 annual report, but regional flying shrunk in 2015 and 2106.
See page 10 (listed as page 9 on the slide) of this slide deck from a presentation 2/28/17 for 2017 forecast:

I don't expect to shrink on the RJ side as much as is listed and I hope that we'll have more mainline aircraft than the presentation indicates.
