I believe that the DEN 757 base will close, or at least be shrank massively, and it is not that big now.
.
There are BATS in LAX and IAD as well. I believe what that means is that the senior LAX and IAD pilots that would have been displaced will now stay and a JR IAH or EWR Pilot will be displaced instead. Those bases have pretty JR pilots. Yes a lot of aircraft are going to be parked, but we are also getting a lot of new aircraft, retiring a lot of pilots and increasing staffing.
I agree DEN 76t base will close and those pilots will be displaced, eventually. It has been a while since I looked at the dynamics of the base but, I believe it is pretty small as you say. This should help as it is absorbed into the 737 base.
