I'd think atleast 2 or 3 220s to be on property up and running before 1 or 2 190s status switches from temporarily to permanently parked.
I'm thinking many of the 190's are already permanently parked they just haven't made it official.
Wouldn't be surprised to see displacements into the 320 AND the 220 come August, with 220 training dates that coincide with arrivals of airframes. OR, if we have to resort to involuntary actions, 41 190's are parked, that's a decent number of pilots.
As others have said, look at the current 190 flying to get a sense of what the remaining airframes might cover until they too are gone. I'm a RIC commuter and for July that's been swapped out to 1X daily on a 320. I expect that for a long time. I could even see some of the shuttle flights going to less frequency. Let's be honest, 12 flights a day to DCA with a little weather thrown in is a borderline disaster anyway.
