Math in public (SCOPE)
Here are the numbers I found on Wikipedia for the UAL/CAL combined RJ feed.
66 50's skw
12 50's chit
17 50's trans
234 50's + 6 135's exjet
175 70's
16 76's (Q400)
336 50's
720 Total
The way I understand, the company can get 64 more 70/76 without consequence. At the 65th 70/76 seater, the 450 hard cap kicks in and they have to park 142 50 seaters. That would leave Expressjet with a 92 aircraft fleet. Or they can decimate the 50's everywhere else and that leaves Expressjet with 187 50's.

From a logical stance the emb is a better aircraft that can carry 50 people 65 bags and go 1200 nm but we all know that uncial is not logical and will probably decimate xjt just because we cost to much.

BINGO!
I flew in the JS recently on a 60 min leg. ATC limited them to 14,000'. They told me that it was a typical altitude. That's something like 3000 pounds per hour to haul 50 people! The 50 seat jet is dying on on the vine! It's what killed ACA, or Independence or SkeenCrapAir or whatever it was called. JUNK! EXPENSIVE TO OPERATE JUNK!

What I really like about this scope is that it includes the 76 seat turboprop within the 76 limit. Those are the future in a world of high fuel prices, and currently we have no scope restrictions on those.
