Just in case it is not flame bait, someone who counted said there are still 10 large RJ's to be awarded. Delta has been trying to use them to negotiate the retirement of 50 seaters on a -2 50 seaters for +1 90 seater (equipped with 76 seats).
The Midwest codeshare scenario was one of the reasons in Section 1 that I voted NO. I do not think it is likely in the manner the RAH pilots imagine, still, Alaska does the same thing with 737's. Again, the actuary in the crowd says Delta performs less than 50% of Delta flying.
