According to Bedford, some of the new planes will be used to replace a portion of the smaller aircraft in the branded fleet, presumably the E170. The economics and operational performance of the E190 are apparently much better, especially in DEN.
There's also been some speculation that this new order will be used to back-fill the loss of the A318s that will be leaving the fleet.
