I think, "will result in" is a strong way to say it but that seems to be the gist. There are still plenty more on seat lock and some that even like the domestic flying and sounds like want to stay on the 76 perhaps, so how many will move over vs 74 slots that open up is the question. But the pay disparity and variety in parings sounds like a big motivational factor for many to move on.
However much the 74 pilots make fun of the "light twin", let it be known that there is a bit of jealousy there as we are the side of the house that has the best times! ...5 day layover in SYD.. yeah!
