They do have the option to convert to the larger 300's.
These will be flown at the mainline, which is good for anyone who wants more high paying airline jobs. That benefits all airline pilots.
However I would expect many of these will be used as replacements not growth for current short routes from ATL and new medium/long & thin routes from SEA & LAX.
