If they don't end up at Rouge then they'll eventually disappear. The mainline ones are some of the older 319s still flying. I figure It's more about keeping the aircraft off the market for future competition at this point.

Nerd fact of the day - Did you know AC operates one of the prototype A319s? One of very few airplanes to have worn both IAE and CFM engines.

Most 319 leases were already set to expire and the aircraft returned, however as part of the accelerated E190 retirement plan the 319 leases were renewed as interm lift to fill the gap until A220s start to show up. Needless to say the mainline 319s are on borrowed time already; don't hold your breath waiting for them to turn up in new paint.
