MCO and GSO closing had a very minimal impact on the other two bases. Both bases were relatively small compared with CVG and JFK. The folks who transfered in in basically covered attrition (granted they were a senior group).

After the two months of guys moving from GSO to JFK I stayed at exactly the same relative seniority number within the base. Don't forget that the flying from those bases wasn't lost. As the guys from GSO transfered over the block hours in JFK went up by 1600 hours.

The block hours on the 50 seater in cvg did go down by bout 1300 hours over the past 2 months all while the 70 seater went up over 1400 hours in those same 2 months.

So basically the overall impact of the closures on seniority was minimal.
