Where else in the network would an A319 (assuming more likely than a regional jet, as gives them a common fleet) be helpful? Most routes are too short to notice the the speed difference, particularly when consider usually faster to get off an ATR than a Bus.
That's part of the problem - there aren't lots of such routes.
Off the top of my head WLG-DUN could probably justify a jet and it'd bring the 1hr45 flight time on an ATR down significantly. Likewise WLG-HLZ has 2 x ATR's and a Q300 all leave within about an hour or so in the evenings.
