Current flying isn't really a good metric to use in comparison. Routes aside, with the seat blocking thing going on they can only sell about half of a 190 but about 2/3 of a 320.
You mention JFK, but there's also many flights from HPN/EWR/LGA/SWF consider. Eventually that flying will come back and those stations have quite a bit of 190 flying.
190 scheduling/staffing isn't going to be based on June 2020. It will be based on 2021 and beyond (assuming the airline doesn't shrink post-2021 with the 190s retired early as a result).
