It seems a huge number to me.
I think number of flights is a less useful metric than how many people fly on a 50-seater. A 74S seats 376 pax; it'll take 7.5 CR2 flights to move that many people. While there may be a lot of 50-seater flights, there the percentage of DL pax flying on CR2s is far lower than 32%.
