You mean would the E190 bring more pilots on property? Short answer no.
No guarantee it's a growth aircraft and no way to guarantee that, the 88s are next to go and it's a sizable fleet, maybe around a 3rd of the jumbo RJ fleet, but still large by mainline standards.
Second, we just reduced the number of pilots needed as FOs.
