An example that Bombardier used, was a typical load nonstop from London City airport to Montreal using the smaller CS-100.

“Parenthetically, the Delta testimony revealed that its transaction with BBD priced the CS100 as a 1,000-mile airplane. Should Delta begin using the aircraft on longer routes, additional monies will be paid to Bombardier. The CS100 has a range of more than 2,900nm.”
Who wrote this. That is the dumbest claim thinking Delta will have to pay a surcharge if they fly it over 1000 miles.. Im sure Delta is set up on autopay using a Delta skymiles card also. Atleast they will earn points....

Delta will owe a very small penalty if they average over 1000 miles per leg.

If Skywest or Republic (assuming future orders) decide to make any 175SC into a 76 seat jet, they too will have to pay Embraer to recertify the planes into the 76 seat configuration.
This isn’t anything new either. Mainline aircraft have always had more options and configurations, including derating options, available compared to Regional aircraft.
Delta’s 1000nm range is an average from what I gather, not a hard limit unlike the seating in the 175SC.

Dear Eight Pound, Six Ounce, Newborn Baby Jesus, don’t even know a word yet, just a little infant, so cuddly, but still omnipotent... Please drive a wooden stake into the heart of “Regional Jet Flying” and restore that to mainline.... Amen
