If anything they’ll replace what you have, I don’t see any E2s coming to any US regional carrier anytime soon, yes I’m aware of the conversion rights at YX...but again the regionals/mainline management aren’t in a position of leverage to make that happen
Replace the 70 or so older planes and put the rest at Alaska. They don’t have scope. Who knows what will happen but the next two years are going to be interesting.
