The only regional jets on which you'll be permitted to carryon a full sized rollaboard are the E170/E175/E190s. The large Embraer planes have full-size overhead bins. If you're on any other RJ, big or small, it's planeside valet check (or jetbridge) where it's tagged, placed with the other luggage and returned to you when you arrive at planeside or jetbridge.

As AA takes delivery of more E175s (lots more on the way) and more CRJ900s (plenty more of them on the way), those new RJs are replacing CR7s, which in turn free up the CR7s to replace 44-seaters and 50-seaters. AA's fleet of 2-class RJs is growing by dozens each year after many years of numbering just 47 of them. So the regional planes are moving and shifting to different destinations.
