E-190 makes up 25% of MCO's outbound flights. It makes up 26% of FLL's outbound flights. I ASSUME it's the same on the inbounds. Data is purely non-scientific, pulled from CrewTrac from tomorrow, use only as directed, your mileage may vary.
What is more likely is that they will shrink the amount of 190 crews in Boston and open up a 190 base in FLL. They will not close MCO on the 190, it will cost to much to do it. They are slowly replacing the 190 flight with 320 flight in Boston as well.
