EWR and CLE are both shrinking as bases (can't remember by how many lines but its been a steady decline for the last year in EWR and for several years in CLE). IAH has been more or less stagnant with most of the movement on the FO side driven by upgrades. The captains have been sliding back ever so slightly with a lot still going to CAL and elsewhere. The growth and movement is out West. So unless CAL keeps us around longer (which it sounds like they might given the great success of the CHQ operation. Lets all brace for Colgan and those Q400s up in EWR ) I would expect the CoEx bases to become more or less stagnant. I'm not saying you won't ever be able to hold EWR or IAH, I'm just saying it won't happen as quick as it used to. New hires can, for the most part, expect SAT, ONT and LAX.
