Obviously they might just keep all the planes and expand but it wouldn't surprise me to see them simplify the fleet if it made sense financially and they could fill a 170 on say MSN-MKE or GRB-MKE. With wifi and stretch the 170 would probably be a good fit for some lighter business markets.
Perhaps we'll see some of the E170s end up on some of the routes that currently have FL/OO CRJ competition. When those FL routes go away after WN takes over, that might be time to put the E-jets on the routes that still have some ERJ's.
