I know in the US the three largest regional jet operators are.
1. XE (Expressjet) 244 jets all EMB-145LR/XLR.
2. MQ (American Eagle) 228 jets (excluding the ATR 72s) 203 EMB-135/140/145s,25 CRJ-700.
3. OO (Skywest) 227 jets (excluding EMB-120s) CRJ200/700/900.
This list doesn't count aircraft planned for delivery, options, or write offs just the current fleets. I used Wikipedia backed up with airlines websites and other online services.

5D (37 frames, also 5 190s)

Quoting ThePinnacleKid (Reply 2):
244 jets... BUT, they are all: EMB-145EP/LR/XR's...
I knew XE parked their 135s but wasn't 100% sure if they operated any 145s outside the LR/and XR, My bad.
If you want to get really technical MQ doesn't have any 140s, as far as the FAA and the aircrafts airworttiness certificantes. MQ operates 25 CRJ 700, 32 EMB-135LR, 59 EMB-135KL (aka. EMB-140) and 112 EMB-145.
This doesn't count the 10 EMB-135LRs that are parked, 4 to 5 EMB-145LR that are in MX getting reconfigured to MQ standards (planes being returned from lease from AX [aka. Trans States Airline]), and the 1 EMB-135LR that was written off after MX ran it into a hanger in CMH.
Ahhh fantastic. That was probably a much simpler and better way of organising the information that I was after! Thanks
Quoting Cubsrule (Reply 3): The take home message here, perhaps, is that there are very few RJs outside of North America and Europe.
I guess that is due to geography. Not many other places with such a concentration of such wealthy cities within a relatively small area (region).
In that case can you list the top ten odd operators over the whole world ex. North America and Europe? Figures for aircraft perhaps not so important here. Just the airline names and which regions they serve.

Quoting Apodino (Reply 6): ZW actually has 70 frames, not 69
I guess I counted wrong; I show 69 (70 at one point, but they got rid of 402 last year)

I'll gladly take a crack at it (corrections welcome)

I believe that 135 also took a Chautauqua 145 out of service for a little while.

Quoting Apodino (Reply 9): We never got rid of AC 402, it is very much in active service to this day.
Weird... my production list shows it in China, but the registration is definitely still active per the FAA-- and obviously you know what aircraft ZW has.

I see what you are looking at now. There was a plane that had registration number N402AW that was a 737, which is the plane thats in China now, which is probably where you are getting confused. The CRJ-200 with that N number is still flying, US Bank is the Leaseholder of the plane.

It's worse than that... I see the 733 with HU, but I also see the CRJ with VD. Take a look.

This site you are looking at appears to me to be unreliable. It seems like it can be edited by anyone with a sign on, much like a wiki entry.
Notice that it still shows 4 146's active with Air Wisconsin. The 146's were retired years ago. What is worse is one of the 146's listed is ship 606, which was the first 146 to be retired after the US contract.
I also looked at the Midwest Airlines fleet. All the MD 80's are retired, but they all still show in service with Midwest.

It's generally pretty accurate-- AFAIK, it cannot be edited by just anyone (at least I've never seen a way to do it). That said, it does better with larger aircraft and airlines (for instance, it has DL's 767s exactly right).
