I was surprised to run into 4 guys in the last 2 weeks that tossed their names in the pool for a second shot at the SSP just before the cutoff. None seemed confident they'd be selected but saw no reason to stay here anymore. (3 DTW 1 MSP based captains.) So perhaps there are slightly more in the top 500 ready to leave, but I can say the vast majority are just planning to ride out the last 5-10 years til retirement here.
It will be interesting to see how this next vacancy plays out this month. How many will be willing to jump off the 900 for the "southern base"?
