The 19 options presumably could/would replace the 19 CR7s on the SkyWest CPA, which primarily serve ASE and other ski towns. If that comes to pass, it would mean that all 255 70+ seaters permitted under the current pilot contract would be of the E-Jet variety (good for pax).

I wouldn't expect UA to exercise these final 19 options until the ASE runway expansion is on track for completion, however, because the CR7 is the only option for service, given current operating restrictions.
