50 seaters are done...all the orders are for 70+.
RJ's are disposable and will be wearing out in droves over the next ten years. Since fuel cost is such an issue with RJ's, it makes sense to buy new technology with lower fuel burn, if you can afford to.
If you can't afford new airplanes, you'll either have to fly new airplanes which mainline provides or, more likely, go out of business.

There's certain markets where the MBA/marketing suit types STILL need 8-10 fights a day, with NO mainline service. Yet doing it with 70-90 just isn't going to work.
Various places in SoCal, NorCal, LA, the northeast, the increasing markets in WY and MT, etc.
The 50 seater will have it's place, just not anywhere near the numbers of post 9/11 scope relaxation.
I don't think there's enough Q's to fill that gap, never mind it's MX issues. I don't think any U.S. carrier has orders for the new ATR's either. Both of which fall under DAL's, and UAL's TA scope sections I believe.
