Impressive stats!
Of course, my brain got stuck on the 2% of US flights of over 750 miles that will be on RJ's without F. My butt hurts just thinking about it! I presume the 2% will be comprised of CR 2's and E145's, yes? Do Dash's have that kind of range?
I don't think the DH8s have that kind of range, but in any event, US doesn't use them on routes anywhere near the long. Currently, the longest DH8 flight is the Sat-only DCA-HHH flight which comes in at just over 500mi, though in the recent past they have flown PHX-MRY which is just under 600mi!
As for the routes over 750mi with CRJ/ERJ aircraft, it is confined to a handful of flights on the following routes based on what I've seen (I could be missing one or two and/or there may be routes flown on Sat-only by CRJ/ERJs that are otherwise flown by larger a/c during weekdays):
