They are not the only airline that does this. All the majors do.

Also why regionals are the first to get delayed or cancelled.

Nah

Are they the only airline to do this?

Name one major airline in the US that doesn't do this.

Regionals are the first to get cancelled because they don't have the same clearances to fly in poor visibility conditions. They are purely there to appropriately account for demand. Delta has actually been lowering their dependency on regional jets thanks to the 717s they got from AirTran (Southwest)
