They are not replacing 50's with more 70's/90's, so it stands to reason that not such a drastic amount of 50's can/will be shed! Delta needs the hubs fed, and right now the 50 does the bulk of this feeding. Take it FWIW.
Um mesaba is parking 10 airplanes and probably going to furlough. We are not running our airplanes to full capacity at all and were just given the worst travel benefits in the whole DCI system. Express Jet got totally cut, Compass is in danger of getting their whole list flushed out the door so you are def not the only ones feeling pain but being specific to your 50 seat loss, its all about the contracts that are signed with delta. Your management decided to trade 2 for 1. Ours probably will soon as well.
