Unless OO continues to royally blow it in DTW and MSP, we won't have additional planes coming. Delta is out of less-favored DCI partners to snag planes from. Management is smart enough to know that the airline shrinks without the 200, and I honestly don't think that they want that.
That being said, without a significant retention plan, they probably don't have a choice.

Anyone know when skywest CPAs are up for their Delta owned 900s? It would make the most sense to give those to us and retire the 200s. Skywest can keep flying their 200s to pro rate and EAS cities if they want and we can get rid of some destinations that really don’t need service like BGM and SCE.
