As for EYW, it’s already scheduled to go to the a220 this fall.

Even from a purely selfish standpoint, every type of aircraft, every SQ, every base, creates scheduling inefficiencies that are good for every pilot in terms of scheduling flexibility.
If a guy is happy flying the 190 out of BOS, that’s great for them—AND they’re not in my way at LAX.
I for one hope they keep all the planes forever.

i.e. If you are a major airline captain, live in a house a major airline FO can comfortably afford. If you're a major airline FO, live in a house a regional captain can swing.
That's the general idea.
Everything else is individual and has too many variables.
