This means Delta has to take delivery of 5 more mainline narrow-body aircraft to operate the last 4 RJs.
I do not think that these have anything to do with the RP law suit. I am more interested in where these birds are going to be based... CP just opened SEA on the 175.

Pilots are always talking about opening up DTW. I'm not sure how it would be staffed without shrinking MSP by quite a bit. It'd be a shame too, since Compass just closed it's DTW domicile causing lots of it's pilots to commute to the West Coast. Meanwhile Skywest guys commute to the east. But, having Compass back in DTW and Skw continue to operate out west, would make too much sense to Delta. Gotta keep us regionals in check by constantly moving the flying around.

4 used CRJ-900s SKY
+ 7 used CRJ-900s GJT
+19 new E175s SKY
=30 remaining large RJs in Delta's Scope
As for these being "replacement" aircraft: they may be trading out one fleet at SKY for another at ASA but, these are additional aircraft when considering the size of the DCI fleet (regardless who operates them)

I don't know how many of the 170 are already slated to be parked.
